Made by David Jowett
Chedworth, Gloucestershire
This washed-rind cheese is inspired by the famous Vacherin du Haut-Doubs which is made in the Jura mountains in eastern France.
Since late 2019, David Jowett has been making his French-inspired washed-rind cheeses on Manor Farm in the Cotswold village of Chedworth, Gloucestershire. The farm's mixed herd of traditional British breeds, including the Dairy Shorthorn, feed on pastures planted with plentiful clover and herbal leys, lending their milk an aromatic richness. Rollright is regularly washed in brine for three weeks, resulting in the thin orangey-coloured rind that surrounds the cheese's soft, buttery paste. The spruce band with which it is wrapped adds a note of pine to the cheese as well as holding it together as it ages.
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.
A delicious cheese, with a velvety creamy texture that could give any of the French soft cheeses a run for its money. A pronounced but not over-strong flavour which lingers on the palate as a reminder of a thoroughly enjoyable indulgence.

Rollright cheese is absolutely delicious.cook it in the oven.
Unwrap the the paper make sure the box is secured, place it on a tray on which you have placed a piece of oven paper after thirty minutes it should be gooey, place it on a warm plate with either thin toast or thin cheese biscuits enjoy it whilst it is hot.
It’s much begtter than Camembert.
