Evenlode

A vivid and pungent washed-rind cheese from King Stone Dairy, with a sticky rind giving way to a buttery breakdown and a firm, curdy centre. Flavours are bright and yoghurty at the core, and become more pungent with hints of peanut and even bacon underneath the dusky orange rind.

King Stone Dairy is so called for the King Stone: one of several Neolithic and Bronze Age stones to be found in the part of the Cotswolds where the dairy was first located before moving to Chedworth

background

Evenlode is a fairly new cheese from the maker of Rollright, David Jowett at King Stone Dairy. Developed in 2018, it was initially conceived as a mould-ripened cheese – yet as the cheeses continued to mature alongside Rollright, they developed stickier, more colourful rinds, with the sort of meaty flavours more typical of washed-rind cheeses – so David decided to allow the cheese to evolve in that direction. Evenlode takes its name from a village near to Kingstone Dairy, to the north-east of the Cotswolds.

FAQs

How much cheese to buy?

As a general rule of thumb, we would recommend roughly between 100 and 150 grams per person for after dinner, and a bit more if cheese is the focus of the meal. If you are buying cheese to serve over a couple of days or as part of a buffet, it is advisable to buy a few larger pieces. This will both look better and keep better than many small bits. To help visualise weights, a good tip is to consider that a regular supermarket pat of butter weighs between 200 and 250 grams. If you are at all unsure please give us a call for some advice.

How should I store my cheese?

The best option is to keep your cheese wrapped in its paper within a box in the fridge. This will prevent the cheese from drying out and absorbing other flavours. Your cheese will arrive wrapped in waxed cheese paper, which achieves the best possible balance between maintaining humidity around the cheese and allowing it to breathe. We are happy to provide some free extra cheese paper, just search for "cheese paper" and add it to your basket. We don't recommend cling film or foil as it can cause the cheese to sweat which will negatively affect the flavour.
