Baron Bigod Brie (1kg)

£42.95

We highly recommend this wonderful cheese for a special occasion and is one of our new favourite cheeses.

This traditional farmhouse Brie style cheese, handmade at Fen Farm from our own grass-fed Montbéliarde cows milk (pasteurised). Your cheese will be hand wrapped in wax paper and packed in its own beautiful wooden box.
Tasting notes: Warm milky flavours, notes of mushrooms, earth and farmyard with a nutty rind.

Baron Bigod is the finest traditional Brie-de-Meaux style cheese produced in the UK and one of only a handful of its type in the world to be made by the farmer on the farm.Beneath the nutty, mushroomy rind, Baron Bigod has a smooth, silky golden breakdown which will often ooze out over a delicate, fresh and citrussy centre. Baron Bigod is made by hand in small batches, very early in the morning so that we can use the fresh milk straight from the cow. The mould cultures are added to the warm morning’s milk and it is gently gravity fed into small vats just a few metres from the milking parlour, where the rennet is added. The curds are carefully hand-ladled into large moulds, using traditional pelle-a-brie ladles and the young cheeses are hand salted and then aged for up to 8 weeks in a cave-like environment.
