More information about the cheeses that make up each tier:
Top Tier: LITTLE LILLY - A truly stunning brie-style soft goat's milk cheese that is handmade in Somerset by White Lake Cheese Dairy. Bright white in colour with a bloomy rind Little Lily's are smooth and velvety with a mild citrusy flavour.
Fourth Tier: BABY BARON BIGOD - Handmade in small batches using a Brie de Meaux recipe, this soft cow's milk cheese is something truly special. It is made by Fen Farm Dairy in Suffolk using the milk from their own herd of free-ranging Montbeliarde cows. The white rind is nutty and mushroomy and the interior is beautifully smooth and silky with a fresh and citrussy centre.
Third Tier: SHEEP RUSTLER - Another magnificent cheese that is handmade in Somerset by White Lake Cheese Dairy. With an attractive orange/brown rind, this semi hard sheep's milk cheese is aged for 3 months. Nutty in flavour with a subtle caramel sweetness.
