Highland Fine Cheeses delivers a different kind of dairy this Easter

Bringing something fun for the grown-ups out there, Highland Fine Cheeses is calling for cheese lovers to expect more from the Easter Bunny this year. From the gentle coastline of Tain in the Highlands of Scotland, cheesemaker Rory Stone is inviting the nation to leave the choccies to the children and make new traditions, with an egg-centric selection of cheeses.

Offering everything from the truly traditional, to more weird and wonderful wedges, Highland Fine Cheeses can build tailor-made cheese boxes to order, with customers able to choose whatever they fancy, and add accompaniments as they go. All cheese is hand wrapped, packed and posted in time for Easter.

For those wanting a fun and funky selection, Highland Fine Cheeses offers a taste-bud-tickling trio of cheeses ready to turn a few heads across the buffet. The pungent, but crowd-pleasing, Minger is an orange annatto soft washed rind cheese similar to a Reblochon, and was named Best Scottish Cheese at the British Cheese Awards 2024. Then there’s Fat Cow, a semi-hard cheese, thought of as a distant cousin of Gruyere and Emmental, as well as Blue Murder, a mould ripened and meaty blue, that’s both velvety and satisfyingly sweet.

The Highland Fine Cheeses range also includes the more traditional trio of Black Crowdie, Strathdon Blue and Morangie Brie, which won the Best Scottish Cheese trophy at the British Cheese Awards in 2022. While building their box online, customers can add a selection of hand-picked accompaniments to pair up with their chosen cheeses, including Crunch Chilli Jam, Chutney and Olive Oil Biscuits, providing everything required for a proper Easter cheese feast.

Rory Stone, head cheesemaker at Highland Fine Cheeses, commented:

“A foil-wrapped egg and a new mug might be alright for the kids, but let’s face it, there’s nothing like a well-loaded cheeseboard to put a smile on the grown-ups’ faces. Whether it’s something gooey running away off the cracker, or a big, bold blue giving your tastebuds something to think about, this is where milk is doing its best work. We take our milk, mould and maturation very seriously around here, but we’re always fun-forward, so I’d like to see more people getting what they actually want this Easter.”
