Christmas and cheese go hand in hand. A festive table never feels complete without a selection of bold, comforting flavours – and when it comes to gifting, there are few things more universally loved than a beautifully crafted cheese. This year, Clawson Farms takes centre stage with a flavour-packed collection of six artisanal cheese truckles, each made from premium ingredients and brought to life through charming character illustrations that celebrate the brand’s rich personality and 100-year cheesemaking heritage.

Whether you’re curating the perfect Christmas cheeseboard or searching for a crowd-pleasing gift (because truly, who isn’t a cheese lover?), Clawson Farms’ truckles offer a deliciously memorable option. Available individually or as part of a beautifully presented double gift box, this is an indulgence designed to delight.

Drawing on a century of expertise in flavour pairing, the gift box pairs Captain Bulldog and Wizard’s Fire – two of the collection’s standout truckles, each represented by a distinctive character whose personality reflects the unique taste within. The hand-drawn illustrations feel warm, nostalgic and wonderfully festive, making the set an ideal present for discerning foodies.

Below, we explore the full cast of Clawson Farms’ irresistible cheese characters – each as charming as they are flavourful.

Vintage Cheddar – Captain Bertie Bulldog

Properly British and proud of it, Captain Bertie Bulldog knows his cheese. His chosen companion? A robust vintage cheddar with a satisfying bite and just the right amount of crunch. Enjoyed with fresh bread and a spoonful of homemade pickle, it’s the kind of simple pleasure that feels unmistakably timeless.

Wensleydale with Cranberry, Elderflower & Marmalade – Dorothea Dormouse

Delicately crumbly and delightfully aromatic, this creamy Wensleydale is infused with tangy cranberries, soft elderflower and a whisper of spiced Seville orange marmalade. It’s enough to send Dorothea Dormouse into a dreamy festive slumber – proof that the combination is irresistibly comforting.

Wensleydale with Mango & Ginger – Castaway Jane

For those seeking something sweet, sunny and unexpected, Castaway Jane’s favourite truckle blends Wensleydale with juicy mango and fiery ginger. Imagine a tropical twist on a winter classic – playful, bright and enough to keep any cheese lover happily marooned.

Extra Mature Cheddar with Truffle & Honey – Fred “Piggy” Flaherty

Rich, rounded and exceptionally indulgent, this extra-mature cheddar is elevated with earthy truffle and floral honey. Fred “Piggy” Flaherty has retired his foraging gear in favour of this decadent discovery – and who can blame him? It’s a luxurious treat for those who like their cheese with a touch of opulence.

Oak Smoked Mature Cheddar – Big Tom “Gunpowder”

Smoky, bold, and deeply satisfying, this oak-smoked mature cheddar carries the warmth and tang of seasoned wood fires. As a veteran well acquainted with the power of smoke, Big Tom “Gunpowder” approves wholeheartedly – and says this truckle hits the mark every time.

Red Leicester with Scotch Bonnet & Harissa – Randolph the Wizard

A truckle with fire in its soul, this vibrant Red Leicester is infused with the heat of Scotch Bonnet chilli and the warming spice of harissa. For Randolph the Wizard, a master of all things fiery, it was love at first taste – a magical, slow-burning heat that casts quite the festive spell.
