3 Ways with Ilchester Black Cheddar

Norseland Ltd are the number one blended cheese supplier according to data from Kantar Worldpanel.

The multiple award-winning, innovative cheese specialists have a number of brands in their portfolio, including the popular Jarlsberg®, Applewood® and Mexicana® ranges.

We are big fans of all three of the mentioned above, but today we are getting an exclusive sneak preview of a new product line coming out soon – Ilchester Black Cheddar.

This is described as “a Rich and Smooth Black Cheddar which is a versatile and uniquely flavoured cheese. Coloured with natural Cocoa and Carob to give a malty flavour. Melts well and melts evenly.”

To taste test the new Ilchester Black Cheddar (available in 160g slices or a 4.2kg block), we decided to do three of our favourites using the cheese. Up first is a grilled cheese sandwich.

For this, we used some thickly sliced rustic bread, melted unsalted butter, grated Jarlsberg Original and two of the Ilchester Black Cheddar slices.

Pre-cooked, the cheese looks impressive and I can’t help thinking of a cross-section of black pudding when I look at it.

We couldn’t do our taste test of the new Ilchester Black Cheddar without getting a burger on!

After all, this is arguably the favourite way to enjoy this cheese.

And we think it will be great to use with black buns (especially at Halloween!) so you can recreate the BK Kuro [Japan] which also features black cheese.

We didn’t have any black buns on this occasion…

What we did have though was a crusty roll, a Lidl Deluxe Steak burger iceberg lettuce, thick cut pickles and sliced red onion.

I found the black cheese to have a creamy quality to it. Quite rich but more smooth than other cheddars.

Finally, one of our most popular dishes at BLHQ is nachos. And inspired by our holiday to Sicily in 2017 we present our Mt. Etna Nachos:
