Our range of Loosehanger Cheeses
Please note: Due to pressures of work this is the worst webpage on the site (in my opinion). I blame it on Ness for having too much imagination and creating too many types of cheese for me to keep up with.
When I get that half-a-day to work on the site I'll update this page with that days' varieties and provide a fuller description and pictures of all the cheeses. In the meantime a complete list of cheeses is now inserted below with some pictures and the general mess pushed further down the page.
Most of our cheeses are made with Ayrshire cows milk with GM-free vegetarian rennet. Since April 2006 we have also included a pressed and a Blue Goats milk Cheese.
The cheeses are best kept refrigerated and brought to room temperature 30 minutes before use.
The whole cheeses come in three different sizes depending upon availability. Cut portions are always available.
Cheese type Approx. weight
Standard wheel 3 - 4kg
Mini wheel 700g
'Wee Woodfalls' 500g
The mini wheels make an ideal gift or a centrepiece for your own cheeseboard (if you can't bring yourself to give them away).
