The only dairy farm on the Isle of Mull, Sgriob-ruadh, near Tobermory, is the home of this fabulous Scottish Cheddar. Made by the Reade Family, Isle of Mull Cheddar is crafted from the milk of a mixed herd of Friesians, the odd Ayrshire or Jersey, and Brown Swiss cows.Their diet is supplemented with spent grain husks from the distillery at Tobermory, called draff, which gives Isle of Mull a slight boozy hint. Gold medal winner at the World Cheese awards 2011.
WHAT IT TASTES LIKE: Full-bodied, feisty, complex, sharp, yeasty, tangy and fruity.
