The recipe used to make this Silo 59th is the one of the Orkney Swannay farm, which has made cheddar for half a century. Among the specificities of this cheese is the maturing of each 19 kg block in a wooden box.
Lovers of English cheddar will find in this Silo 59th the typical aroma of cellars, a perfectly smooth texture and a remarkable taste persistency which invites to pair it with a lager beer or even better with a Scottish malt whiskey.
