Stinking Bishop Cheese by Charles Martell 500g
Brand: Charles Martell
A Perry washed rind cheese from famous award-winning
cheesemaker Charles Martell. Aromatic, pungent and with a delicate
flavour, the velvety, smooth interior is almost spoon-able with a
glistening, orange-yellow rind. This wonderfully eccentric cheese
is created and produced in Gloucestershire by an equally eccentric,
quintessential English gentleman, Charles Martell. Made from cow's
milk and washed with perry (an alcoholic drink made with a rare
variety of pears), this soft textured brown/pink rind cheese has a
pungent smell. Stinking Bishop cheese, despite its alarming name,
is mild in flavour and quite delicious. Aptly named after the
variety of Pears Charles uses to create the Perry that he washes
the cheeses with, the smell arises from bacterial action on the
Perry washed rind. The cheese is supported with a beechwood lath
and is wrapped in waxed paper. Milk Type: Cow Cheese Type: Soft
