Cooking Tip
Great in cheese straws, and can be used to add a smoky twist whenever a recipe calls for strong cheddar .
Quicke's Smoked uses oak chips from trees that fall on their 3,000 acres of land. They start the process of smoking the cheddar by turning the old oak into thousands of small oak chips, before scattering them over the floor in a disused barn to dry out. Then, after the moisture has left the chips, they put them into a wood burner which funnels the oaky smoke into the smokehouse on the farm. The finished cheese has a lovely burnt orange hue, with a natural smoke flavour added to the grassy, rich lactic cheese.

Quicke’s was established in 1540. To this day they still use traditional recipes, time honoured techniques and heritage starters passed down through the generations, and continue to create outstanding cloth bound cheddar. Made by hand in an old-fashioned way, slowly matured for a deeply satisfying flavour, their cheese celebrates the deep connection that has grown between the Quicke family and the land they have nurtured for almost 500 years.
