Cheese of the Month (January/February)
Polder Blanc - Aged Goat Gouda
Stunning Gouda made in Holland using 100% goat milk and matured for a minimum of 14 months. Unlike any other goat cheese you may have tried this Gouda is sweet yet nutty and has a delicious crunch to the texture. Try shaving over pasta or salads instead of Parmesan.
Stinking Bishop
Hand made on the farm in Dymock, Gloucestershire by Charles Martell. Stinking Bishop is a soft pasteurised cows milk cheese with a very pungent washed rind. It is said that the cheese is based on a recipe once used by Cistercian Monks in the same village. During its 6-8 week maturation period the cheese is washed in pear perry from the Stinking Bishop pear (hence the name). Milk from the Gloucester breed of cows is used to make the cheese which is also suitable for vegetarians.
Single Gloucester (Charles Martell)
The original award winning cheese from the makers of Stinking Bishop. Hand made in Dymock Gloucestershire using pasteurised milk from the farms own herd of Old Gloucester dairy cows. This naturally mould ripened semi hard cheese has PDO status which limits the production area to within Gloucestershire and restricts milk type to the Gloucester breed. The cheese is rich and creamy in flavour with lingering lactic undertones
