DESCRIPTION:
Anne and Andy Wigmore began cheesemaking around twenty years ago and we’ve been buying their cheese for about sixteen years. Anne graduated from the School of Dairy Science at Reading University, but she became interested in the actual practice of cheesemaking and decided to have a go. Today, Anne and her husband are one of the better known cheesemaking couples due to the popularity of their cheeses: Spenwood, Waterloo (cows milk) and Wigmore. They make cheese in a converted garage at the end of their garden. It’s not a rustic setting, but the cheese tastes great. The flavours are gentle and caramelly while the texture is smooth, creamy and sumptuous without running away with itself.
