Named after a traditional regional folk song, Lincolnshire Poacher is one of only a few cheeses to be made on the East coast of England. The Jones family have owned their farm here since 1917 but didn’t start dairying until 1970 and cheese-making until the 1990s when 4th generation son Simon Jones and Welsh cheese maker Dougal Campbell developed and refined a unique recipe combining the characteristics of mountain cheeses like Gruyère with traditional English cheddar. Smooth and dense, savoury with hints of beef broth and occasionally tropical fruit, this cheese is truly a masterpiece. It’s hand-made with raw milk from the family’s own herd of Holstein Fresian cows matured on wooden boards for at least a year to develop their trademark flavour and texture.Region: Lincolnshire, England Milk: Unpasteurised Cow Rennet: Animal Size: 20kg wheel sold as 2.5kg cuts
