The Shorrock family have been making Lancashire Cheese for generations. Andrew's grandfather, John Gaskel Shorrock, won Supreme Champion at the last Preston Open Cheese Competition before the war broke out, in 1938. Andrew has since been the creator of the Lancashire Bomb, having originally made the first bomb as a leaving gift over 25 years ago for a friend emigrating to America. This was the start of this amazing product. The “bombs” are clothbound for 12 months before being waxed and aged for another 12 months to produce this exceptional example of Lancashire cheese, the 200g bomb.
Upon completion of your order, you will be asked to select a delivery date. We will always work to deliver to you on your date chosen but sometimes delays may occur. We will contact you if a change to the delivery date is required. At check-out, your delivery charge will be calculated.
All our products are packed in Cheese Cuisine boxes (unless you have ordered a giftbox or added a hamper to your order) with filling (bubble wrap where needed) and gel ice packs when required, to preserve the quality of fresh products.
Your cheese will arrive wrapped in speciality cheese paper and we recommend you refrigerate it as soon as it arrives. We recommend using your cheese within five days of purchase, however, many cheeses will last far longer. To serve, take your cheese out of the fridge, unwrap, and let it come to room temperature before serving (about an hour). To see more about taking care of cheese click here.

However, if your order is a gift, select the option at check-out to include a personal message on a gift card with information letting the recipient know how they can find out about their products on our website.
The Shorrock family have been making Lancashire Cheese for generations. Andrew was the original creator of the Lancashire Bomb, having made the first bomb as a leaving gift over 25 years ago for a friend emigrating to America. The Lancashire Bombs are matured over two years creating a very creamy and full-flavoured taste and texture.
