Oakwood is Ford Farm’s smoked Cheddar collection.  This is a pure cheddar carrying the much coveted PDO (product of designated origin) status and made using milk from cows that free range our lush, verdant Estate.  Once we have made the cheese, we send it off to a locally based traditional smokery where it is slowly smoked over natural oak chippings until it takes on a subtle oak smoked flavour and develops a deep, burnished gold rind.  Oakwood looks the part on the cheeseboard and its full flavour is best brought out with a crisp Pinot Grigio or a sharp, tangy cider.
