CLOCKWISE FROM TOP MIDDLE

DEWLAY CRUMBLY LANCASHIRE, £1.49 FOR 250G AT SELECTED ALDI STORES

SHEPHERDS PURSE YORKSHIRE FETTLE, £4.95 FOR 150G SHEPHERDSPURSE.CO.UK

DELAMERE DAIRY GOATS CHEESE, £2.65 FOR 150G BOOTHS & SPAR

This smooth cheese has a similar texture to Cheddar, so you can add generous shavings of it to your favourite salad leaves! It has a mild and creamy flavour that works well with rocket and watercress.

Rip up these silky little balls of cheese and scatter them over a salad of basil leaves and fresh tomatoes for a true taste of summer.

PERL LAS, £6.63 FOR 250G PAXTONANDWHITFIELD.CO.UK
