The Abagail Wedding Cheese Tower - Layer by Layer
Top Layer – Neufchâtel Heart (0.2kg)

- Dimensions: 9.5cm × 3cm
- Perfect for: Romantic presentation and French cheese lovers
Second Layer – Cambridge Blue (0.25kg)
An exceptional British blue cheese inspired by Cambridge's rich cheesemaking heritage. Cambridge Blue features a soft, creamy texture with mellow, incredibly moreish characteristics. This artisan cheese comes into its own at 6-9 weeks of age, offering approachable blue cheese flavour perfect for guests who typically avoid stronger blues while still delivering depth that enthusiasts will appreciate.
- Dimensions: 10cm × 4cm
- Perfect for: Those seeking approachable, mellow blue cheese
Third Layer – Old Smokey (1kg)
A mature cheddar that has been gently oak-smoked and coated in distinctive black wax. Old Smokey offers rich, traditional cheddar flavour enhanced with subtle smokiness that adds depth without overwhelming. The striking black wax coating creates a dramatic visual impact and adds a bold, contemporary edge to your cheese wedding cake tower.
- Dimensions: 14cm × 6cm
- Perfect for: Dramatic visual impact and smoky flavour lovers
Fourth Layer – Northumberland Original (2.2kg)
A rare and exceptional handmade cheese from the North East of England. Northumberland Original is beautifully mild yet highly versatile, featuring an incredible silky texture that bursts into rich, buttery flavour with a satisfying aftertaste. This artisan cheese melts smoothly, making it perfect both for your cheese board and for any cooking. The Northumberland Original is what makes the Abagail tower truly distinctive—a showcase of rare Northern English cheesemaking at its finest.
- Dimensions: 19cm × 8cm
- Perfect for: Those seeking rare regional British cheeses and buttery, mellow flavours
Bottom Layer – Red Leicester (4kg)
One of Britain's most popular farmhouse territorial cheeses, offering a vibrant alternative to traditional cheddar. Red Leicester is russet-coloured with a sweet, mellow flavour that's similar to cheddar but nuttier and more distinctive. Matured for at least three months, this classic British cheese provides both structural stability and beautiful colour at the base of your wedding cheese tower.
- Dimensions: 24cm × 8cm
- Perfect for: Traditional British cheese lovers and vibrant visual impact
