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

Second Layer – Cornish Yarg (1kg)
Handcrafted in Cornwall and wrapped in edible nettle leaves, creating one of Britain's most visually striking cheeses. This semi-hard cheese is luxuriously creamy under the rind and delicately crumbly at the core. The distinctive nettle-wrapped appearance and complex texture make this layer a guaranteed talking point at your wedding and ensure stunning photographs.
- Dimensions: 13cm × 8cm

Third Layer – Oak-Smoked Old Smokey (1kg)
A mature cheddar that has been gently oak-smoked and coated in distinctive black wax. Old Smokey offers a smooth balance of richness and a bold, smoky flavour, adding a unique character to your cheese wedding cake. This artisan smoked cheddar sets the Penny tower apart with its depth and complexity, appealing to guests who appreciate bold, distinctive flavours.

Its mild character balances the more assertive flavours in the Penny tower whilst maintaining French sophistication.
- Dimensions: 18.5cm × 3.5cm
- Perfect for: Traditional French cheese lovers and approachable flavours
Fifth Layer – Blue Stilton (2kg)
