Accompaniments:

Tracklements Quince Fruit Cheese is gorgeously jammy and rich with a sharp tang. It’s the business with sheep’s cheese.

Multi award-winning Tracklements Fresh Chilli Jam is addictive and sticky-sweet. It smoulders with a gentle heat from fistfuls of fresh red chillies.

Wine pairing:

The perfect wine for this pretty fabulous cheese is the spectacular Nu Allonge Cava.

Recipes:

What could be better than sweet and savoury, cheese brioche? It might take a while to make this bread but it will definitely be worth it! We recommend you serve this warm with salty butter and roasted garlic bulbs.

This delicate and delicious Cheese and Chive Tart is perfect with a green salad and a side of Tomato Chilli Chutney.

Try this pancetta wrapped Pork Loin stuffed with No 6 Sheeps’ cheese. Pork loin is one of the easiest cuts of meat to cook for dinner as it slices up nicely and is juicy and tender.

If you make these cheese scones small they’ll be delicious to eat with soup.

Enchiladas make an excellent mid-week dinner that the whole family can enjoy. This version uses turkey making it a little healthier. Try it with No 6 Sheep’s cheese.
