Don’t forget the chutneys: caramelised red onion chutneyis great with hard cheeses like a mature cheddar or a soft and creamy goat’s cheese. Fruity chutneys, like our festive chutney,or fruit paste such as damson and juniper fruit for cheese, are ideal for matching with soft cheeses such as brie or blue cheese.

Carefully brush the surface of each biscuit with the egg and sprinkle over a little finely grated parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until they are a gorgeous golden-brown colour; the superb smell will also inform you that they are ready.Add seasonal touches: For an extra festive feel, add a selection of garnishes such as seasonal fruit. Grapes, apples and figs work well with a range of cheeses from strong to creamy. You can also decorate the board with fresh herbs – aromatic rosemary looks great.

Want a cheesy nibble to enjoy with a bottle of bubbly? Treat yourself to a box of our Cheddar Straws - the flakiest, butteriest puff pastry baked with tangy mature cheddar and just a pinch of mustard power. The perfect savoury treat for a special occasion (or just a Friday night). Made for sharing... if you can. Place the butter and flour into the bowl of a food processor with the salt, cayenne, mustard powder and cheeses. Process together to begin with, and then finely pulse the mixture in short spurts as you notice the mixture coming together - it will eventually bind without the need for egg or water. Wrap in cling film and leave to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.For allergens, including cereals containing gluten, see ingredients in bold.
