THE CHEESE CLUB
December 2026 Cheese Selection
Four carefully chosen, handcrafted cheeses to accompany the wines of December 2026. Each one flatters its partner in the glass and turns a simple tasting into a small, memorable feast.
Clawson Cotswald
Clawson Cotswold brings together the mellow richness of Double Gloucester with a lively bite. Golden, creamy, and generously flecked with green onion and chives. It's a cheese with a cheerful disposition and a decidedly generous appetite.
JENNY'S TIP
The Perfect Toastie: Melt between slices of buttered country bread with caramelized onions and a little Dijon mustard. Grill until golden and gloriously molten. and there is little more required.
WINE PAIRING
Toma
Toma, the classic cows’ milk cheese made by Italian dairy farmers, now has a California cousin from the windswept pastures of California's Point Reyes. A beautifully balanced cheese with a rich, buttery heart and a lively personality. Smooth, supple, and wonderfully approachable, it offers the quiet sophistication of a cheese that knows exactly what it is.
JENNY'S TIP
Serve at room temperature with toasted sourdough, ripe pears, and a handful of roasted almonds. Something more indulgent - melt over golden potatoes with fresh thyme and a little sea salt.
WINE PAIRING
Wooly Wooly Black Truffle
The first bite reveals sweet butter and toasted almonds, followed by the deep, woodland fragrance of black truffle. Its semi-firm texture yields gently on the tongue, releasing layers of savory umami, delicate tang, and lingering creaminess.
JENNY'S TIP
Mushroom Risotto: Fold finely grated cheese into creamy mushroom risotto just before serving. Finish with parsley and a little good olive oil.
WINE PAIRING
Double Cream Gouda
The first bite brings butter and toasted nuts. Then comes caramel, butterscotch and a gentle savory depth, followed by those delightful little crystalline crunches that make aged cheese so difficult to stop eating.
JENNY'S TIP
Breakfast & Brunch: Fold into fluffy scrambled eggs, melt over mushroom omelets, or tuck into a warm croissant with smoked ham.
