Rollright

Described by Cheese Geek as a British alternative to Reblochon, this is buttery and rich. It is made in Gloucestershire and comes as a whole 250g wheel - if you have leftover after your cheeseboard, it would be fab melted over potatoes for a raclette-style dinner.

St Jude

Surprisingly light, this ultra creamy, almost moussey wheel is indulgent and almost faintly citrussy on the palate.

Bluemin White

An interesting blend of styles, this 'blue brie-style cheese' from Yorkshire has a creamy centre that melts on the tongue, whilst the rind and age adds nutty complexity.

Truffle Bomb

A special treat for Christmas: this strong cheese is aged for 2 years and has real truffle added for a unique, intense final finish.

Total weight of cheeses: 400g

What's in the hamper:
Westcombe raw milk cheddar
Handmade from unadulterated raw cow's milk, Westcombe cheddar has a deep, complex flavour with long notes of citrus, hazelnut and caramel. Its nickname is the 'five-mile cheddar', as it’s said you're still tasting it five miles down the road!

Nettlebed Creamery, Bix
Beneath the white, wrinkly rind is a dense, ultra-creamy interior with a moreish, lactic tang. Dense and rich, with a buttery mouthfeel. With an earthy aroma on the nose, at first you’ll detect hints of yogurt and grassy sweetness on the palate, which unfurl into toasty notes.

St Jude cheese
This dainty little cheese is fresh and lemony, with a zippy mousse-like texture when young. It packs more punch as it matures, developing earthy flavours and a gooey interior. Dependent on the batch, St Jude can be fresh, bright and citrussy, or rich, smooth and buttery, but always with a delicate nutty flavour that is so unique to it.

Appleby's double gloucester
This incredible double gloucester is a traditional, full-fat hard cheese made from unpasteurised cow's milk. It uses the same ingredients as Appleby’s cheshire, but with variations in the timing, temperature and acidity. It has a smooth and buttery texture, with a rich, nutty, delicate flavour. The acidity is less dominant than in cheshire, and is balanced with a slight tang and mineral bite.

• Peter's Yard original sourdough crispbread golden cross

Available from:
Pipers Farm, £33 plus delivery (ranging from £3.95 to £14.95 depending on day, time and location)

Comté d'Estive
Ivory-coloured pâté with a smooth, nutty flavour and a hint of caramel sweetness.

Vacherin du-Haut-Daubs
The season for the traditionally handmade cheese is short; they start to trickle in at the beginning of October and go until the end of March. The cheese is meltingly rich, verging on tasting like clotted cream. The billowy crust is washed pinky peach with an earthy aroma.

Bleu d'Auvergne
Rich, full-flavoured blue cheese with a velvety, almost melting texture.

Total weight of cheeses: 1.1kg

What's in the hamper:

Stonebeck wensleydale

Made by the Hattan family in Yorkshire, their quest to recreate a farmhouse wensleydale from the 20th century led to the use of cheesemaking books from 1917 and 1947, and interviews with a 101-year-old local cheesemaker. The result is Stonebeck: creamy, fresh and herbaceous while young, with the flavour deepening as it matures into something satisfyingly warm and buttery.

Colston Bassett stilton

A blue for those who ‘don’t like blues’, Colston Bassett is gentler, sweeter and more balanced than a ‘typical’ blue cheese, with a creamy, buttery paste pierced with the delicate blue veining that's characteristic of a stilton. Colston Bassett Dairy is still owned by the farmers who supply the milk, plus a handful of local residents.

Westcombe Oxonlees

A smooth, well rounded farmhouse cheddar from Somerset made with pasteurised cow’s milk and selected for its warm, lingering flavours and balance of creaminess and acidity. Oxonlees, named after one of the fields on their farm, is a project to select and age the best batches of Westcombe cheddar.

Winslade

This occupies the space between a camembert-style and Vacherin Mont d'Or-style cheese. It is matured for eight weeks, allowing its dappled, pinkish rind to develop, while the spruce band provides a note of pine.

Available from:
Neal’s Yard Dairy, £48, including delivery to most UK postcodes.

Templier
A delicate, buttery and slightly farm-y raw cow’s milk cheese, with a gooey texture. From Affineur François of Fromagerie Xavier. This cheese style is marked with a cross, in reference to the Knights Templar, who were active in the Languedoc area. Typically made from goat's milk, the use of cow's milk is a creative twist.

Trou du Cru
Trou du Cru is a washed-rind cow’s milk cheese produced in the Bourgogne region, originally by Robert Berthaut in the early 1980s as a baby version of the famous Époisses. It is washed in the local Marc de Bourgogne eau-de-vie. It possesses all the pungent delights of an Époisses, but can easily be consumed in one sitting, thus avoiding the wrath of a family member or partner who doesn't enjoy a smelly cheese.
