– TASTE TAKES TIME –

We’ve gathered together a selection of the best recipes that are perfect for showcasing our cheddars. These include new takes on well known classics as well as inspiring ideas for new dishes

Cheese & Herb Twists

These cheese twists are perfect for the whole family. The mature tang of aged cheddar works perfectly with the sweet shallot, spring onions and bright chive.

Delicate Lemon Sole is served with a Davidstow cheese sauce, given depth of flavour with charred leeks and a pinch of nutmeg

Davidstow cheese and onion pasty

This is our Cornish cheese and onion pasty that celebrates the classic combination of matured cheddar and aromatic allium

Davidstow cheese ploughmans

Add some Cornish charm to your ploughman’s with our Davidstow Crackler cheese. It is complex and creamy but with a crumbly texture like the rugged north coasts of Cornwall.

Davidstow cheese & mushroom crepes

These Breton inspired crepes are delicious for breakfast or a light lunch. They are rich and decadent whilst also tasting light and well balanced.

Davidstow Cauliflower cheese

A creamy cauliflower cheese can be elevated to the next level by using Davidstow Reserve cheddar.

Davidstow mushroom & cheddar risotto

Elevate a humble mushroom risotto by adding mature Cornish cheddar instead of Parmesan. The aged cheese works wonderfully to make a creamy, nutty flavoured risotto; base garnished with fried King oyster mushrooms, lemon and asparagus.

Davidstow rosemary & cheese scones

Our Davidstow twist on a classic cream tea. This West Country favourite has real depth of flavour from Crackler grated into the cheesy scones, with lemon and rosemary.

Davidstow crab & leek gratin

This is a recipe which celebrates Cornish luxury but it’s surprisingly easy to make. The Reserve cheddar adds extra maturity to the flavour with the leek and crab, but you can use one of our other aged cheeses too and still get great results.

Davidstow Fish Pie

A classic fish pie with a twist! The mashed potato is enriched with a generous grating of Davidstow Crackler & we use a vermouth instead of white wine for the white sauce!

Davidstow smoked haddock tart

Our beloved Crackler works wonderfully with robust flavours. For this recipe we’ve paired it with smoked haddock for a homely but delicious summer tart. Try adding watercress to the recipe or some smoked salmon for extra colour.

Davidstow Quiche Lorraine

This is our classic Quiche Lorraine recipe with plenty of Davidstow Crackler to add depth of flavour. A homemade quiche is the perfect summer picnic food and it’s worth the effort. Remember Taste Takes Time…

Davidstow Cornish Rarebit

This is the ultimate grilled cheese recipe with a Cornish twist on the traditional rarebit. We’ve used a bottle of local Doombar and some wholegrain mustard to complement our Classic 12 month cheddar.

Davidstow cheddar & apple tart

This is an ideal way to serve our Davidstow Crackler, for a recipe that is quick and easy to make. An open tray bake with extra mature cheddar providing the savoury profile to work with sweet apple, subtle metallic notes from watercress and earthy walnut.

Cheeseboard Styling

An impressive cheeseboard is easy to put together with a bit of knowledge and care. Here are our top tips to ensure your cheeseboard rounds off festivities in the perfect manner

Davidstow Lasagne

The humble lasagne is worthy of taking your time and thoughtfully building layers of flavour. Our Reserve cheddar is the best choice for this classic dish as it has a mature tang that cuts through the rich béchamel and herby tomato sauce.
