You can now buy a SOLID cheese Easter egg – but it comes with a hefty price tag

CHEESE fans will be delighted to hear that a new cheese Easter egg, also known as the Cheester Egg, will be available to buy in the UK.

The solid egg made entirely from cheese is perfect for those bored of ordinary chocolate eggs - but the dairy delicacy doesn't come cheap.

The hand-made, first-of-its-kind egg will cost £14.95 for around 260g.

As well as the egg, there are a limited number of "Nest Hampers" available for £29.95, which include Peter’s Yard Sourdough Crispbread and locally produced quince membrillo.

Cheese lovers can also order online and collect from from London's Broadway Market, Alexandra Palace Market or Myddelton Road Market, or from the Wildes Cheese shop in Tottenham, London.

Hobson said: "Chocolate is okay, but it’s a little boring and frankly I’m sick of seeing it dominating key retail periods.

"Cheese is what excites me so I’m thrilled my plans for a Cheester Egg have finally hatched. There’s a whole army of cheese lovers out there showing me their support."
