Godminster - Vintage Bruton Beauty Organic Cheddar, 1 kg

Yes this cheese you’ll never go hungry, made just up the road from where I live. Paid excellent price however now you have put up some £4:00 per item would be reluctant too buy any more !!.

First tasted this on holiday. it is a strong tasting cheese which I love. Bit expensive but worth it now and again for a super treat.

Great cheese, great price. If you have a truffle (oil, it's not "real truffle") lover in your life, this is a must buy. You'll tear through it in no time. Very upfront "truffle" flavour and a well-rounded - mature but not sharp - cheddar taste. Bought the 1kg twice now and it's been a hit each time.

Amazing flavour. Great on its own or with crackers or part of a ploughman's. My only complaint, hence the 4 stars rather than 5, is the inconsistent packaging. Sometimes it arrived in a box with wood shavings, which was ideal. On other occasions it was in a plastic bag inside a piece of folded card. As a result, it frequently arrived damaged or 'sweaty'. I subsequently stopped buying it for this reason. I ordered the same product each time, but packaging was an issue.

Godminster’s Cheddar is absolutely gorgeous. For me, it is, with no hesitation, one of the finest cheeses around. Unfortunately, it is no longer at all fine once it arrives at your home, and this is no fault of Godminster. It is entirely Amazon’s.If given the option to provide a rating for the product, this would be a perfect 5 star cheese. However, since we have no such option and the quality and the experience of a product is necessarily tied to its actual state rather than its ideal, the rating it deserves is a reflection of that.Amazon delivers this product, not a third-party seller on Amazon. Amazon decides that it is somehow appropriate, safe, and sane to ship cheese—a live food product—without any coolant/refrigerant and in a simple, extremely compact cardboard envelope with no padding. The result: the cheese arrives at room temperature, the wax exterior is cracked, and a portion of the cheese is severely dented.Cheese needs to be kept cold, obviously. Cheese is also fragile, obviously. The envelope has no structure and no padding was added, so its not even suitable for hard candy.And to cap off the absurdity of it all, Amazon does not allow for a refund of this damaged product.

I was wondering how my cheese would cope with the journey. No problem at all. It had been sent with an ice bag inside a padded silver wrapper so cooler than when I bring it home from the farm shop.This cheese in it's distinctive red wax is truly lovely, creamy and full of flavour. It goes well with crackers, wine and especially with fruit cake.

Ordered as a gift, the cheese arrived only 3 days after ordering, despite the quoted delivery date being about 10 days. This is the second one of these cheeses that I have sent as gifts and the first also arrived much quicker than quoted. Both recipients have been delighted with the taste and the quality of the cheese.

I bought as a gift for my son and family but it was a big disappointment so I have to say that for me it was a complete waste of money. They didn’t eat much of any of the four different types and I felt awful, not only because they underwhelmed but because as a pensioner I wasted all that money.
