our work with this cheese
This is the first hard cheese we sell to be made exclusively without commercial cultures. Whey from the lactic cheeses was added to the evening milk, and Highfields was made directly the next morning with no additional cultures added. Tasting this cheese next to Innes Log and Brick was a testament to the power of cheesemaking to select different microbes from the same raw materials. Because there was no hard cheese maturing room at the farm, they were brought to Neal's Yard Dairy when they were a week old, and matured in our rooms.
