The 12 Tastes of Christmas

Brussel Sprouts

Brussel Sprouts

Still on the vine and bursting with flavour, these Brussels sprouts remind us why seasonal eating matters. Roast them until the edges turn golden and crisp, or steam them lightly to keep that bright, earthy sweetness intact.

Pairing: Pancetta and toasted almonds, or try finishing with a squeeze of lemon for a simple twist.

Montgomery Cheddar

Montgomery Cheddar

Montgomery is the Don of cheddars, earthy, nutty, and savoury with its signature bite. Handmade in Somerset by Jamie Montgomery and aged to perfection, it's a Bayley & Sage Christmas classic.

Origin: England

Pairing: Cured meats, crusty bread, or nuts, while sweet fruits like apples or pears balance its rich, nutty, and sharp flavour.

Stilton

Stilton

Colston Bassett Stilton is a festive classic, gentler and sweeter than most blues, with a creamy paste and delicate veining. Still hand-ladled under care of Head Cheesemaker Billy Kevan, it brings traditional indulgence to any Christmas cheeseboard.

Pairing: Bordeaux, Port or dark chocolate highlight its rich, creamy, and tangy flavour.

Château Des Capucins Lalande De Pomerol
