Product Details
Tasting
Born on a traditional British farmhouse and aged with care, Witheridge in Hay captures the essence of rural cheesemaking. Wrapped in fragrant hay and matured in a natural environment, this cheese is a true celebration of countryside craftsmanship and seasonal flavour.
Tasting
From the first bite, Witheridge in Hay delivers a wonderfully complex flavour. You’ll notice a distinct grassy note, thanks to the hay rind, which gives way to a rich, savoury umami depth. Beneath that, a subtle sweet creaminess lingers, balancing the boldness and bringing harmony to each bite. The texture is smooth yet firm, offering a melt-in-the-mouth experience that feels both rustic and refined.
Pairing
This standout cheese deserves pride of place on any cheeseboard. Pair it with a fruity red wine or a floral, dry cider to highlight its savoury and sweet notes. Try serving it with fresh figs, oatcakes, or a spoonful of quince jelly for a combination that sings. It also shines alongside roasted nuts or pickled pears for an earthy contrast.
Recipe
Bring a bit of the farmhouse into your kitchen. Crumble Witheridge in Hay over roasted vegetables, melt it into risotto for a punch of umami, or bake it into tarts for a gourmet twist. Even simply sliced with crusty bread and butter, it’s a farmhouse treat that speaks for itself.
