Made by Tim Fisher at Butler's Farmhouse Cheese
Preston, Lancashire
When Stacey Hedges and Charlotte Spruce decided to create a second cheese alongside their Tunworth, they wanted it to be the same size and shape so that they could make use of the same tools.
Winslade, which was developed by Stacey Hedges and Charlotte Spruce of Hampshire Cheeses, was made as a sibling to what was previously their only cheese, Tunworth. Their plan was to create a cheese that would be the same size and shape as Tunworth, allowing them to make use of the same tools, but with a markedly different character. Winslade, a milder cheese than its predecessor, occupies the space between a Camembert style and a Vacherin style. It is matured for eight weeks, allowing its rind to develop, while the spruce band provides a note of pine. Like its sibling Tunworth it is now made by Tim Fisher at Butler's Farmhouse cheeses in Lancashire.
When cheesemaker Stacey Hedges was developing her new cheese, we were active in offering advice and feedback in the early stages.
