Godminster's original cheddar and a national favourite, the Bruton Beauty’s signature smoothness puts it firmly at the heart of the cheese board. Named after the mysterious, rarely spotted creature that resides in the town of Bruton, Somerset, this modern and moreish organic vintage cheddar is matured for up to 12 months before being selected to become one of their award-winning Godminster truckles.
All of Godminster's cheeses are made using pasteurised milk and they are certified organic by the Soil Association. They contain no artificial preservatives, and they are suitable for vegetarians.
The Vintage Bruton Beauty is enrobed in Godminster's signature burgundy wax to protect it and give it a longer shelf life. This special food-grade wax is a by-product of refining petroleum and would otherwise go to waste!
In order to enjoy your Godminster organic cheddar cheese at its best, allow it to come up to room temperature an hour before serving to bring out all the lovely flavours. Cut into your truckle in Godminster style by chopping off the top and tucking in. Carefully score around the top and lift the lid to enjoy the delicious cheddar inside. If there’s any left afterwards then replace the wax as best you can, wrap it in cling film (or cheese paper if available) and refrigerate.
Godminster
Deep in the heart of Wessex, where landscape and legend intertwine, and character and curiosity are around every corner, lies Godminster. The spirit of Godminster can be found near the town of Bruton, Somerset, deep in the ancient land of Wessex. It’s home to lush rolling pastures and ancient woodlands filled with stories of myth and magic.
Godminster’s mission is to be at the heart of the cheeseboard of life. Why? Because a cheeseboard is a centrepiece that brings people together around the table, and it’s got something for everyone to enjoy, just the way they like it. Every truckle tells a tale – of myth and mystery, taste and tradition – made hand in hand with the land.
“Nature repays those who treat her kindly” is Godminster’s motto and it’s from nature’s finest ingredients that they take all their inspiration. As guardians of their little patch of Somerset, Godminster know that organic farming is the most effective way to create a self-sustaining environment where nature can regenerate and flourish.
Organic cheese is farmed regeneratively – you might have heard this term being used to talk about sustainable, eco-friendly farming that works with nature not against it. As an organic dairy herd, Godminster farm is smaller and the herd is run less intensively because they give their cows more pasture and therefore produce less milk. Godminster believe a healthy, happy herd produces a healthy, happy planet. Because they farm organically and protect the flora and fauna on their farmland, Godminster Farm is carbon negative.
