About Lancashire cheese

Lancashire cheese is a cow’s-milk cheese associated with Lancashire, England. It is made in distinct styles, including young, creamy versions and longer-aged, firmer versions; recipes and maturation affect the result. It is eaten on its own or used in cooking, where its melting qualities make it suitable for dishes requiring a soft, cohesive cheese.

The cheese is generally pale ivory to light yellow, with a mild, buttery, slightly tangy taste when young and a firmer, more developed flavour after ageing. Texture ranges from moist and crumbly to smooth and sliceable. A catalogue entry that does not state its style or age may represent meaningfully different cheeses.
