Cool Christmas

A well-judged cheeseboard sits at the heart of this savoury collection, bringing mature, creamy and blue styles together with crisp, piquant accompaniments. It feels poised. Barber's mature Cheddar and Barber's Red Leicester anchor the spread, with a poised Chardonnay as a neatly judged counterpoint. It feels assured. Nothing feels overdone. Further touches add variety without crowding the edit. Presented in a postal carton, the selection is neat, composed and straightforward to send or hand over. It feels complete.
