Hidcote is a new sheep’s milk cheese from David Jowett, with early batches having a mousse-like texture and frangipane notes in the paste. As it is new to our slate, we are still getting to know this cheese, and we are excited to see how it develops.

Chedworth, Gloucestershire
Hidcote is inspired by Perail, the soft sheep’s milk cheese from Aveyron, France.
Former Neal’s Yard Dairy intern David Jowett has been making cheese at King Stone Dairy in Chedworth in Gloucestershire since 2019. After spending several years producing cow’s milk cheeses like Ashcombe, Rollright, and Yarlington, he began experimenting with sheep’s milk. The result is Hidcote, a lactic cheese with a soft, creamy paste and geotrichum-ripened rind.
We regularly visit King Stone Dairy to provide feedback and select cheese. Since Hidcote is a new cheese that's still in development, we are taking extra care to note variation from batch to batch. When each shipment arrives, we taste, touch, and examine the cheese to decide how best to mature it.
