Snowdonia Little Black Bomber 200g

Nice product.

OH. MY. F-ING. GOD. This cheese is amazing! I saw the company making it all fresh on Gordon Ramsey's Unchartered show and knew I had to have it. Went to their site - everything was sold out. They probably only offer eight products, but still. So, my second stop, Amazon. It came to me somewhat temperature controlled. I lived in AZ (NOT a hot day, I wouldn't have bothered to order otherwise) and it kept well in its bubble wrap and one cold pack. We had a cheese night surrounding just THIS cheese and it was 200% worth it! I will say, I like a little bit of crystals in my aged cheddar, and this had none. I don't know if it's because of storage or what, though.

This cheese is excellent! I first had it in Canada but have been unable to source it locally. I was elated to find it on Amazon.

The cheese was excellent!! Thank you

This review is for the Snowdonia Little Black Bomber and Green Thunder cheeses from Wales. A few years ago, my wife and I stopped in Betws-y-Coed for a few days. On a beautiful, sunny afternoon, we visited a local cheese shop for a snack to take on a streamside walk in the hills above town. I chose a nice wedge of Black Bomber, which is an extra-sharp cheddar. Delicious! Of course, the afternoon and the beautiful location may have contributed to my memory, but, whatever the reason, it stuck with me.Since our local cheese shop doesn’t carry any Welsh cheese, I decided to look on-line and was please to find I could order “Little Black Bomber” from Amazon. When placing my order, I also noticed the Snowdonia Green Thunder, which is described as a “creamy mature cheddar with garlic and garden herbs”, so I added that.I ordered the cheeses on October 22 and they were delivered November 25. I was nervous about the long delivery time and the warning on the Amazon web page. The padded envelope they came in was marked “Air Mail”, however, so perhaps they weren’t in transit that long.In any case, inside the envelope the cheeses were both in what seemed to be a vacuum-sealed bag. Opening that, I found the wax coatings had a slimy-feeling dampness on them, and the wax on the Green Thunder had about a one-inch shallow gash in it, exposing the cheese beneath. I wiped off the wax and refrigerated both.I am please to say that, in spite of my doubts, both cheeses served up very nicely. I suspect they were a little worse for wear due to the time they spent unrefrigerated, but they were still very good. I would order them again, but would recommend not doing so in warm weather.If you like sharp cheddars, the Little Black Bomber is a great choice. It has a rich, nutty flavor that is and excellent example of Welsh cheese. I don’t remember the cheese we had in Betws-y-Coed being quite as crumbly as the one from Amazon, but that may be because it was fresher.The Green Thunder also had an excellent flavor and, in fact, exceeded my expectations. It was very creamy in spite of the “extra aging”, and the garlic and herbs were a tasty complement to the cheese itself.

My wife and I discovered this cheese on a summer vacation to Wales. We are avid hikers and wanted to get some easy to carry items to have for lunch while at the top of some of the peaks in Snowdonia. A local market suggested this cheese so we gave it a try. Wow were we shocked how good it was. So much so that we searched everywhere to try and find it again and thankfully Amazon has it.Well worth the price. It has a wonderful sharp and strong cheddar flavor without being overwhelming. The texture is amazingly smooth and creamy and it even has those small salt crystals inside.If you love cheddar then do yourself a favor and order this. You will NOT be disappointed.

As a treat, paid almost $30 for this cheese after watching Gordon Ramsay going on about it. Wanted to surprise my double transplant daughter with a little special cheer. Packaging on the outside and inner aluminum wrapping was fine but cold packs were melted and warm and the cheese had burst out of the side break and was also warm to the touch. Afraid to eat it. Going to try to return it.

This is a special cheese from Wales. While it was packed with ice, the ice was melting and it probably isn’t edible.
