The product
No. 1 Leckford Creamy Washed-Rind Cheese is a semi-soft cheese featuring a distinct golden orange rind which is washed repeatedly with Leckford Estate Brut sparkling wine during maturation. The cheese itself is creamy and smooth offering a depth of flavour that is savoury, earthy and nutty. It becomes more pungent and complex as it matures.
The Process
- This cheese is a labour of love, requiring dedicated attention during the maturation phase.
- Made by Netlebed Creamery in Oxfordshire using milk from their own herd of cows.
The cheeses are washed with Leckford Estate’s sparkling wine during maturation, giving it a nutty, slightly citrusy flavour. - It pairs beautifully with a glass of Leckford Estate Brut sparkling wine too..
