This square cheese is soft and yielding with a white bloomy rind which, when cut, reveals an ivory coloured interior.
The flavour is mushroomy and creamy with a hint of lemons.
The cheese dates back to the time of Admiral Lord Nelson who, in 1801, was sent some by his father as a gift. It was recorded that Nelson’s sweet heart was gratified by the flavour.
A four inch square, encased in a fine rind and beautifully wrapped in parchment paper with a red wax seal.
A welcome addition to any cheeseboard and perfect to transport for a picnic.
Size/weight: 260g. The individual cheeses are 4 inch square.
