Sinodun Hill
£11.95
Sinodun Hill – Made by Frazer Norton & Rachel Yarrow in Oxfordshire
The initial make process takes place over 4 days after which it is ripened for up to 21 days to develop the rind and bring out complexity in the flavour and texture. The rennet is vegetarian, derived from the cardoon thistle. The result is a flavoursome cheese with a fresh, citrus flavour which deepens as it ages to reveal almond and red fruit notes. Its rind is a stunning ivory colour and seasonally develops a dusting of blue and grey moulds as it ages, which add to the flavour and character of the cheese.
English Pecorino 200g
£9.60
English Pecorino – Made by Roger Longman in Whitelake, Somerset
This creamy textured, semi-hard ewe's milk cheese has a beautifully well-rounded and nutty but relatively subtle flavour - and an eye-catching yellow rind. English Pecorino is a multi-award-winning cheese that is most definitely a crowd favourite. Matured for 5 months. The curds are washed leaving a lovely natural sweetness
Baron Bigod 250g
£8.75
Baron Bigod - Made by Jonny & Dulcie Cricklemore in Bungay, Sulfolk
The only traditionally made, Brie-de-Meaux style cheese produced in the UK. Small batches are made in the early morning using fresh, warm cows’ milk from Fen Farm’s own herd of Montbéliarde cows in Suffolk. All the curds are hand-ladled into large brie moulds and then salted by hand and aged for up to 8 weeks.The flavour of the cheese changes with the seasons, with mushroomy and farmyard notes under the rind and occasional hints of citrus or truffle flavours. With full provenance from cow to cheese, this is a true artisan cheese and the raw milk provides for exceptional taste and quality.

This cheese is rich in flavour with savoury tones and a gentle hiny of spiciness.

West Country Buffalo Mozzarella
£5.25
Raw Milk Water Buffalo Mozzarella, traditionally hand made in Somerset using the pasta filata method.
The buffalo are reared on the farm by Jonathan Corpe and his amazing team.
After the early morning milking the buffalo milk is gently added to the vat. Starter cultures are added. A little later a vegetarian rennet is added. After the curd has set, it is cut. When the curd is ready it is taken from the vat and placed on the curd table. When ready the fresh curd is added to 90 degrees of hot water in a large round drum. The curd is then spun by and stretched by hand, a little like making dough. The method used here is of course Pasta Filata. Once the curd has formed the right stretchy, glossy consistency it is placed in to the baller. The balls of freshly made mozzarella are hand brined for roughly 90 minutes. Then they are taken out and placed into a storing solution ready to be served.
Jonathan’s mozzarella tastes citrusy and creamy with sour cream and grassy somewhat yogurty notes. It is quite frankly sublime.
We collect the mozzarella directly sometimes waiting for it to be finished! That’s how fresh No2’s mozzarella is. To find mozzarella this good you would have to travel to Italy. Our Italian customers also agree with this which is surely testimony to Jonathan Corpe’s hard work in producing proper raw milk buffalo mozzarella on his farm.
