The Hollie 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 romance and elegance, making it the perfect crowning touch for your British-Irish wedding cheese tower.
- Dimensions: 9.5cm × 3cm
- Perfect for: Romantic presentation and French cheese lovers
Second Layer – Cornish Yarg (1kg)
Handcrafted in Cornwall and wrapped in edible nettle leaves, it creates 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 intimate celebration.
- Dimensions: 13cm × 8cm
- Perfect for: Visual impact and West Country flavour
Third Layer – Lincoln Blue (0.8kg)
A distinctive English blue cheese coated in pale yellow wax to retain moisture and protect its creamy interior. Lincoln Blue is exceptionally creamy, mature, and richly complex. The yellow wax coating creates beautiful visual contrast against the burgundy Godminster and red-hued Gubbeen, making this layer both a flavour and presentation highlight of the Hollie tower.
- Dimensions: 14cm × 5cm
- Perfect for: Blue cheese lovers and visual drama
Fourth Layer – Godminster Organic Cheddar (1kg)
A delicious organic vintage cheddar from the award-winning Godminster farm in Somerset, presented in distinctive burgundy wax. This creamy, savoury-sweet cheddar offers exceptional flavour with the added assurance of organic certification. The rich, mature character and striking burgundy presentation add sophistication to your British-Irish cheese tower.
- Dimensions: 15.5cm × 5cm
- Perfect for: Organic cheese lovers and visual impact
Bottom Layer – Irish Gubbeen with Washed Rind (1.5kg)
An exceptional Irish washed rind cheese from West Cork that makes the Hollie truly unique - no traditional cheddar base here! Gubbeen features a distinctive triple-layered bloom of different organisms, giving it a beautiful pinkish colour with white blooms. This artisan cheese has a rich, slightly pungent aroma with creamy, complex flavours that develop as it matures. The washed rind tradition brings authentic Irish farmhouse character and creates a foundation unlike that of typical British cheddar towers. Perfect for couples seeking Celtic connections or adventurous cheese lovers who want something genuinely distinctive.
- Dimensions: Approximately 18cm × 4cm
- Perfect for: Irish heritage, washed rind lovers, and those seeking alternatives to traditional cheddar bases
