In 1057 upon a cold stone near the Peel of Lumphanan, King MacBeth lost his head. That was the brutal end for one of the last Celtic Kings of Scotland.

Mac Bethad mac Findlaich, the real King MacBeth, was a Scottish nobleman, a warrior with royal Moray blood. He fought for his Kingdom, defended his nation and governed well for 17 years. This is no legend nor myth, there are no prophesying witches, or Elizabethan playwrights behind the creation of this tale. This is a man from history, someone who lived, breathed and walked this earth just like you and me. 

The real MacBeth knew his lands well, he travelled the verdant fertile glens and plains, and he sailed the rugged coast to see his subjects, collect his revenues and protect the kingdom.

Along his way he would have enjoyed the very best of Scottish produce, from fresh fish to the finest local cheese. Cheese is one of those wonderful things that connects landscape, people, history and food. 1057 Scottish Extra Mature Cheddar celebrates those connections, keeping the narrative alive, inviting us to join in and be part of the story.

1057 is hand selected by our cheese graders so only the very best Scottish cheddar, made from Scottish milk and expertly made into cheddar will make it into 1057.

The cheddar must be aged for at least 14 months to create just the right firmness and that rugged crumbly texture we so love. After 14 months the flavour develops into a powerful yet subtle balance between full and creamy and bold and punchy, an extra mature cheddar that will keep you chopping at the block.

1057 is a characterful Scottish Cheddar, rich because of where it is from and how it is made. A commanding cheese that stands out, a real piece of cheese fit for a real King.  

Use it in your cooking, your snacks or just on its own with a glass of something strong!
