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.

David Jowett selects the batches of Evenlode for us, which are then collected by our drivers on our Midlands run. When the cheese arrives with us it is kept wrapped up in one of our cooler maturing rooms until it is ready to be sold.
