It’s not that long ago the Great British Sandwich was something to avoid.
It often consisted of nothing more than two slices of white bread, a bit of butter and a slice of something fairly bland in the middle.
If you were really lucky, the crusts might have been cut off the bread to make it more posh.
Thankfully those days are now behind us.
In fact, the British sandwich has evolved so completely that it is now often hard to keep up with the latest trends.
To help out, we’ve come up with a range of great flavours we think will hit the spot on World Sandwich Day – or any other day of the year for that matter.
So here’s some things you can try today:
Smokey sensation: Instead of a plain cheese why not get your taste buds tingling with our fantastic smokey cheese mix? The mix of mature smoked cheddar, coloured cheddar and mozzarella adds lovely depth and texture to any sandwich and is perfect throughout autumn and winter.
Texture time: Any sandwich can be brought to life with the addition of a great textured cheese. Why not try something like a West Country extra mature cheddar, which will give a bit of crunch from the crystals and a good punch of flavour.
Just toastie: With the weather starting to get colder, what better than switching your sandwich up and turning it into a toastie? Our smokey cheese mix is just the thing for the perfect toasted sandwich – winning gold at the International Cheese and Dairy Awards in the cheese on toast category!
Double delight: You can add twice the flavour by doubling up on your cheese. Why not combine our smokey cheese with a continental cheese such as Emmental to bring a different flavour profile. And if you’re making a grilled cheese sandwich, have one cheese in the filling and then add a layer of another cheese on the top.
Balancing Act: Balancing the flavours of the sandwich is important. Cheese should always complement the filling and help enrich the flavour. Think of adding a mix of cheddar and mozzarella if your filling contains jalapenos, or Red Leicester & Mature Cheddar with a spring onion mayo filling, or Mozzarella with a steak sandwich. We reckon they’ll have your mouth watering in no time.
And remember, whatever your filling, there’s always a cheese to bring it to life. Do tell us your favourite combos – we’d love to hear them.
