Spenwood

Hard Ewe’s Milk Cheese
Producer: Village Maid Cheese
Region: Berkshire

A great example of a hard ewe’s milk cheese - light, creamy at the centre and nutty towards its natural rind. Made by the family-owned Village Maid Cheese which was started in a humble garden outbuilding in 1986 by Anne Wigmore. Spenwood was inspired by Anne’s trip to Sardinia and is comparable to the Mediterranean Manchego and Pecorino cheeses.

Matured up to 9 months, this is a great vegetarian substitute for Parmesan in risotto and pasta recipes.

Tŷ Caws recommends: Pair with a crisp white wine or rosé on a sunny evening.
