Welcome to Blackwood

Blackwood Cheshire is a type of cheese that is made from cow's milk. It is a semi-hard cheese that has a crumbly texture and a tangy flavor. The cheese is named after the town of Blackwood in Cheshire, England, where it was first produced. Blackwood Cheshire is a popular cheese in the United Kingdom and is often used in cooking and as a snack.

The cheese is made by adding rennet to the milk, which causes it to curdle. The curds are then cut and drained, and the cheese is left to mature for several months. During this time, the cheese develops its distinctive flavor and texture. Blackwood Cheshire is often aged for up to six months, which gives it a strong, tangy flavor that is popular with cheese lovers.

Blackwood Cheshire is a versatile cheese that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is often grated and used as a topping for pasta dishes or melted on top of burgers and sandwiches. The cheese can also be served on a cheese board with crackers and fruit, or used as a filling for savory pastries. Blackwood Cheshire is a delicious cheese that is enjoyed by many people around the world.
