Godminster unveils its Grazing Goodness Box, putting Wessex at the heart of the Christmas cheeseboard

Bringing the best of the West Country together for a Christmas sharing board to remember, Somerset-based organic cheddar producer Godminster has introduced its new-look Grazing Goodness Gift Box. Created for gifting, sharing and indulging, this selection box comes with cheese, chutney, crackers, olives and nuts, each packed with flavour to elevate this year’s festive cheeseboard.

The Grazing Goodness Gift Box features three award-winning waxed cheddars, with each mini truckle introducing a mythical creature from the rolling hills of Somerset. The trio of cheddars includes Vintage Bruton Beauty, Black Truffle Howling Hound and Oak Smoked Cheyney’s Fortune, which won the Best Wax Cheese in Show trophy at the International Cheese & Dairy Awards 2023. All of these distinctive cheddars tell ancient stories of Wessex that are deeply rooted in both farming and cheesemaking in the West Country.

Alongside these untraditional truckles, the gift box includes Godminster’s own Golden Honey and Oat Biscuits and a jar of its Beetroot & Apple Chutney, both crafted to pair perfectly with the producer’s organic cheeses. Completing the grazing experience is a pouch of Mr Filbert’s Lemon & Oregano Olives, made in Somerset, and a jar of Olives Et Al Chipotle Smoky Chilli Nuts, produced in Dorset.

A celebration of the South West, this gift box comes brimming with award-winning products. Godminster added a host of accolades to its trophy cabinet only last month at the International Cheese & Dairy Awards 2023, winning 11 awards including the Orchard Valley Dairy Supplies Trophy - Awarded to the Best Wax Cheese in Show for Oak Smoked Cheyney’s Fortune, and the ICDA Award Best Label Design - Awarded to the Best Label Design for Black Truffle Howling Hound.

Created with the modern cheese lover in mind, Godminster’s Grazing Goodness Gift Box provides an effortless festive feast, sent from deep in the heart of Wessex, where landscape and legend intertwine, and character and curiosity are around every corner. Bringing the spirit of the West Country to this year’s festivities, it’s perfect for a Christmas Eve get together, Christmas Day cheeseboard or simple Boxing Day lunch.
