Murcia al Vino is a goats cheese from the Murcia region of Spain. It’s name literally translates to “drunken goat” and this is due to the red-wine bath the cheese receives giving it a distinct purple rind.

If you’re one who normally passes on the goat pairing – this might just be mild enough for you to enjoy!

Fun Fact: It was named after a friend of the cheesemaker who says – like the cheese she is sweet, curvy, and slightly nutty!

Richard III
This creamy cheese follows the classic Wensleydale recipe but has less acidity that sometimes comes with Wensleydale cheese. It’s fantastically creamy, with a delicate honey-like flavour, citrus notes and a moistness that compliments beautifully.

Smoked Northumberland
This is a strong place to start on a journey into artisan smoked cheese. It has won multiple awards and for good reason! It is cold-smoked over wood chippings for 12 hours, to develop a bronzed outer core and a beautifully smoky taste. Smoked Northumberland cheese is the real deal; once the cheese has been smoked for 12 hours, it is then matured for 3 months to deepen the flavour.

Torta de Barros
There is a tradition in Spain of making ewes’ milk cheeses using cardoon thistle rennet. This leads to the cheese age from the inside out, making the middle really unctuous and oozy and resulting in a full flavour .This cheese has a delicate and very particular flavour. Slightly sour with a flood of herb flavours and an elegant bitter aftertaste due to the use of the vegetable rennet.

Waterloo has a creamy, firm texture and the ultimate buttery finish.The washed curd method they use makes the cheese less acidic with a gentle buttery flavour.

Wyfe of Bath
Made following a Gouda inspired recipe, Wyfe of Bath is made by Graham Padfield at Park Farm, on the outskirts of Bath. You’ll pick up summery meadow notes and buttery aromas in this creamy, succulent cheese. The rind adds to its nutty taste, thanks to the cheese ageing for four months to give a deep flavour. Its taste changes ever so slightly according to the season, as it’s made from the milk of one single herd of cows – but it’s always sweet and rich.
