Today, we raise our glasses and our cheese knives to celebrate a remarkable collaboration that brings together the essence of Dorset’s culinary excellence and the grandeur of the high seas.
The Book & Bucket Cheese Company, a beacon of artisanal craftsmanship nestled in the heart of Dorset, has embarked on an extraordinary journey with none other than Cunard’s newest cruise liner – Queen Anne.
It is with immense pride and joy that we announce the culmination of this partnership: the creation of not one, but two bespoke cheeses tailored exclusively for the discerning palates aboard the magnificent Queen Anne.
The first of these culinary marvels, christened “Stowaway,” is a testament to the dedication and ingenuity of Peter Morgan and his team at The Book & Bucket Cheese Company.
Stowaway is no ordinary cheese; and meticulously crafted from the finest sheep milk and infused with a blend of cultures that lend it a unique and unforgettable taste profile.
Drawing inspiration from Cunard’s storied maritime legacy, Stowaway marries tradition with innovation, resulting in a cheese that’s as modern as it is timeless. But what truly sets Stowaway apart is its Dorset DNA – aged in the heart of Cranborne Chase, its natural rind captures the essence of the region’s terroir, evolving with the seasons like a fine wine.
As the Queen Anne sets sail on her maiden voyage, she carries with her not just a cheese, but a piece of Dorset’s culinary heritage.
Joining Stowaway on this epic voyage are two other masterpieces from The Book & Bucket Cheese Company’s repertoire: Cranborne Blue and Smoked Blyton, each bearing the hallmark of excellence that defines Peter Morgan’s artisanal craft. And this is just the beginning, as a second bespoke cheese is slated to grace the ship later this year, promising even more culinary delights for passengers to savour.
The story of The Book & Bucket Cheese Company is one of passion, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. Founded five years ago by Peter Morgan, it is a testament to the transformative power of dedication and a willingness to push the boundaries of conventional wisdom. From humble beginnings to gracing the tables of luxury liners, Peter’s journey is a testament to the adage that with a bucket full of recipes and a dash of courage, anything is possible.
As Stowaway embarks on its maiden voyage aboard the Queen Anne, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to The Book & Bucket Cheese Company and Cunard for this remarkable collaboration. Each cheese is a masterpiece in its own right, crafted with the same dedication and expertise that defines The Book & Bucket Cheese Company.
Bon voyage, Stowaway, and may your journey be as legendary as the seas you traverse.
So, as we prepare bid farewell to Stowaway and its companions, we raise a toast to The Book & Bucket Cheese Company and Cunard for this extraordinary collaboration.
Here’s to fair winds and following seas!
