A collaboration between Devon's finest cheese-makers brings you the Essential Devon
Cheese Board featuring five artisan cheeses, delivered to your door with no contact
necessary. Each cheese is made with milk from cows and goats that have grazed
Devon's luscious pastures nurtured with love until ready for your cheese board. The board
includes the Devon classics; Sharpham Brie, Quickes Mature Cheddar and Ticklemore
Devon Blue, plus a 'Grader's Choice' from both Sharpham and Quickes. Customers will
receive five pieces (c300g each) individually wrapped along with tasting notes for each.
