It’s a £10 Truckle Gift Box.
If you are looking for the perfect foodie stocking filler, then Clawson Farms has the solution for your festive dilemma. They have delicious cheeses which are ideal for Christmas or any time of year.
Handcrafted in the heart of Leicestershire, the award-winning dairy’s truckles capture the essence of traditional British cheesemaking in every bite. Now, they’ve brought together two of their best-loved flavours in one perfectly packaged gift box, which makes an irresistible gift for food enthusiasts, dinner hosts and cheese connoisseurs alike. Clawson Farms has an online shop with truckles as well as a great selection of other cheeses, so something for every taste.
Drawing on the company’s 100-year history of cheesemaking and flavour-pairing expertise, the gift box includes Captain Bulldog and Wizard’s Fire, each featuring a unique character that embodies the spirit and flavour of the cheese inside, and that’s brought to life by beautiful hand-drawn illustrations.
Captain Bertie Bulldog is quite partial to a good vintage cheddar, a proper cheese that’s properly British. It’s got a bit of bite and is well rounded and nicely balanced. He’s particularly fond of its subtle crunch. Some fresh bread, home-made pickle and he’s in cheesy heaven. It’s traditional and versatile.
Randolph the Wizard is quite picky about his cheese. Like any wizard, he knows how to play with fire and when he discovered this Red Leicester infused with the sweet spicy bite of Scotch Bonnet chilli and the warmth of harissa, his taste buds were ablaze with delight! This one is flavourful and unique.
Wizard’s Fire can also be purchased separately at larger Tesco stores nationwide, along with a further two truckle flavours (each £5.50) – perfect for elevating the Christmas cheeseboard; or add these to your own DIY hamper as a thoughtful gift for family and friends:
Dormouse’s Delight: The endearing character of Dorothea Dormouse brings this crumbly, fruity delight to life. Creamy Wensleydale subtly infused with tangy cranberries, gentle elderflower and a hint of spiced Seville orange marmalade.
Truffle Seeker: A truffle-laced Cheddar represented by foraging pig Fred. A rich, rounded flavour, subtly laced with the earthy nuttiness of truffles and sweet honey.
Clawson’s Farms’ Truckle Gift Box costs £10 and is available exclusively from larger Sainsbury’s stores nationwide and online from 19 November. These cheeses make the most thoughtful gifts!
Individual Truckles (Wizard’s Fire, Truffle Seeker and Dormouse’s Delight) can be purchased from larger Tesco stores plus independent farm shops, delis and garden centres (RRP £5.50).
