"Well I had a lot of fun and enjoyment playing with your cheeses over the last week. They are really very impressive, so well made, balanced and characterful !
In fact I got so into using them I actually created more recipes than I intended by the end ! "
Hardy’s is our signature hard cheese. It has a nutty sweetness and is amazing shaved over salads, as part of a cheese board or in the pappardelle pasta recipe below created by Philippa Davis.
