The Claire Wedding Cheese Tower - Layer by Layer
Top Layer – Godminster Organic Cheddar Heart (0.4kg)
A delicious organic vintage cheddar from the award-winning Godminster farm in Somerset, beautifully presented in distinctive burgundy wax. This heart-shaped cheese combines romantic presentation with exceptional savoury-sweet flavour and the added assurance of organic certification, making it the perfect crowning touch for your wedding cheese tower.
- Dimensions: 10cm × 4.5cm
- Perfect for: Romantic presentation and organic cheese lovers
Second Layer – Cornish Yarg (1kg)
Handcrafted in Cornwall and wrapped in edible nettle leaves, creating one of Britain's most visually striking cheeses. Under the nettle-wrapped rind, Cornish Yarg is luxuriously creamy, while at the core it becomes wonderfully crumbly. The distinctive appearance and complex texture make this layer a guaranteed talking point at your wedding celebration.
- Dimensions: 13cm × 8cm
- Perfect for: Visual impact and West Country flavour
Third Layer – French Brie (1kg)
A classic mould-ripened Brie from the Vosges region of France. Mild with hints of hazelnut and a milky flavour, this soft, creamy cheese pairs perfectly with fresh fruit, crusty bread, or crackers. Its gentle character provides elegant French sophistication while balancing the more assertive flavours in the Claire tower.
- Dimensions: 18.5cm × 3.5cm
- Perfect for: Traditional French cheese lovers
Fourth Layer – Wensleydale and Cranberry (2.3kg)
A festive Yorkshire cheese, featuring moist, sweet cranberries flecked throughout creamy Wensleydale. This delightful combination offers sweet and fruity notes that provide a refreshing contrast to the stronger cheeses in the tower. The cranberries add both visual appeal and a burst of flavour, making this layer especially popular for Christmas and winter weddings.
- Dimensions: 21cm × 5cm
- Perfect for: Festive celebrations and winter weddings
Bottom Layer – Oak-Smoked Cheddar Half & Red Leicester Half (4kg total)
Oak-Smoked Cheddar Half (2kg): An expertly crafted oak-smoked cheddar made with milk from pedigree Holstein cows, gently smoked over oak chippings. This artisan cheese delivers rich, smoky depth, adding sophisticated complexity to your wedding cheese tower.
Red Leicester Half (2kg): One of Britain's most popular farmhouse territorial cheeses. Red Leicester is vibrant russet-coloured with a sweet, mellow flavour that's similar to cheddar but nuttier. Matured for at least three months, this classic British cheese provides a beautiful colour contrast.
This distinctive split-wheel base creates stunning visual interest by combining the natural tones of oak-smoked cheddar with the vibrant russet of Red Leicester, offering guests two complementary British cheeses in one impressive foundation.
- Dimensions: 24cm × 8-8.5cm (split wheel)
- Perfect for: Visual drama and traditional British cheese lovers
