The Susan Wedding Cheese Tower - Layer by Layer
Top Layer – Neufchâtel Heart (0.2kg)
A romantic heart-shaped cheese from Normandy, France, with a white bloomy rind. Often compared to Camembert but with a saltier, sharper taste, this charming cheese adds a touch of French elegance and romance, making it the perfect crowning touch for your wedding cheese tower.
- Dimensions: 9.5cm × 3cm
- Perfect for: Romantic presentation and French cheese lovers
Second Layer – Manchego (1kg)
A distinctive Spanish cheese from the La Mancha region, made from sheep's milk. This traditional Manchego offers a complex taste with nutty, buttery notes and a hint of sharpness. The firm texture and authentic Spanish character make it an essential continental addition that pairs beautifully with fruit, honey, and Spanish-inspired wedding themes.
- Dimensions: 12cm × 7cm
- Perfect for: Adding Spanish sophistication and international flair
Third Layer – Lincoln Blue (0.8kg)
An exceptionally creamy, mature blue cheese from Lincolnshire, coated in distinctive pale yellow wax to retain moisture. This artisan blue offers a gentler flavour than traditional Stilton, making it approachable for guests who are new to blue cheese while still delivering depth and character that blue cheese enthusiasts will appreciate. The yellow wax creates a beautiful visual contrast in your tower.
- Dimensions: 14cm × 5cm
- Perfect for: Those preferring a milder, more approachable blue cheese experience
Fourth Layer – Cornish Yarg (1.7kg)
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 and ensure stunning photographs.
- Dimensions: 17.5cm × 7cm
- Perfect for: Visual impact, West Country flavour, and Instagram-worthy presentation
Fifth Layer – Red Leicester Half & Double Gloucester Half (4kg total)
Red Leicester Half (2kg): One of Britain's most popular farmhouse territorial cheeses. Red Leicester is a vibrant, russet-coloured cheese that has been matured for at least three months, offering a sweet, mellow flavour that's similar to cheddar but slightly nuttier.
Double Gloucester Half (2kg): A classic handmade English cheese featuring a creamy, mellow flavour and buttery texture. Its golden-orange colour and smooth character complement the Red Leicester perfectly in this unique split-wheel presentation.
This distinctive split-wheel tier, featuring Red Leicester and Double Gloucester side by side, creates stunning visual interest and offers guests two complementary British territorial cheeses to enjoy. It's a presentation unique to the Susan tower, guaranteed to impress your guests with its distinctive appearance.
- Dimensions: 24cm × 8cm (split wheel)
- Perfect for: Visual impact and traditional British cheese lovers
Bottom Layer – Mature Cheddar (5kg)
A classic British mature cheddar, hand-cut to form a strong and stable base for your cheese tower. Aged for depth and character, it delivers a satisfying richness and crumbly texture that anchors the entire wedding cheese cake while providing traditional cheddar flavour that every guest will recognise and love.
- Dimensions: 30cm × 5cm
- Perfect for: Traditional cheddar lovers and structural stability
