Norseland’s Ilchester unveils new cheddar cheese

UK cheese manufacturer Norseland has introduced a new cheese variation under its Ilchester brand, called the Ilchester Truffle Cheddar.

Ilchester Truffle Cheddar features the flavours of British cheddar blended with black summer truffle and infused with white truffle oil. Norseland said that the salsa truffina, olive oil and aromatic seasoning in the oil base with white truffle flavouring ingredients in the cheddar are sourced from Italy, while the black summer truffles are from both Italy and Bulgaria.

Lisa Harrison, marketing manager for Ilchester, said: “Launching a new cheese that reflects how Brits have broaden their horizons when it comes to cheese, which is now inspired by ingredients from different regions of the world, felt like the best way to celebrate 60 years of Ilchester, and truffles are a real indication of foodie sophistication”.

The Ilchester Truffle Cheddar will be available at Tesco stores across the UK from 24 October for £2.20.
