Baron Bigod
milk type
Cow

Raw
Silky at its rind but crumbly at its core, this Suffolk-born, traditional Brie-style cheese balances a clean lactic brightness with mushroomy, vegetal notes.
Kirkham's Lancashire
milk type
Cow
coagulant
Animal Rennet
milk treatment
Raw
Best known for its inimitable crumbly-yet-creamy texture – a texture the Kirkham family call ‘buttery crumble’ – this raw milk farmhouse Lancashire boasts a bright, full flavour finished off by a light, yoghurty tang.
Lincolnshire Poacher
milk type
Cow
coagulant
Animal Rennet
milk treatment
Raw
West Country Cheddar meets Comté in this cheese, which typically boasts a smooth, densely creamy texture and flavours that can range from rich, savoury and brothy to long, sweet and almost pineapple-like.
Stichelton
milk type
Cow
coagulant
Animal Rennet
milk treatment
Raw
A juicy acidity and toasty, biscuity notes toward the rind are the hallmarks of Stichelton, though the range of flavours this soft, creamy raw milk blue can exhibit is extraordinary: from crisp green apple right through to beef stock umami.
