TYPE OF CHEESE:
Traditional
RENNET:
Traditional Animal Rennet
MILK:
Unpasteurised Cows Milk
DESCRIPTION:

Matured until it develops a rind. A fascinating combination of three distinct flavours: lactic, citrussy and minerally in the heart of the cheese, creamy, savoury and meaty in the breakdown below the rind and earthy leathery notes from the rind itself. The textures also move from moist and succulently crumbling in the centre to silky creaminess in the breakdown.
