Suitable for vegetarians. Made on our family farm. Original recipe. Farmhouse cheesemakers. Crafted in somerset since 1833. Matured 24 months. Always matured for a minimum of two years to provide a cheddar that is powerfully intense and complex with an exceptional depth of flavour. The Barber family has been farming and making cheese in Somerset since the early 1800's. In addition to this we remain the only guardians and producers of a traditional starter culture collection left in the UK. The MT25 Starter Culture produces the typically powerful and complex flavours associated with Barber's 1833 and provides a classic cheddar profile with a well rounder character and just a hint of sweeter note. Packaged in a protective atmosphere. www.barbers1833.co.uk. Product of the UK.
