Extra Mature 'Wyfe of Bath' Cheese by The Bath Soft Cheese
Company 1.2kg
Brand: Bath Soft Cheese
Matured for over 12 months the extra mature is
slightly harder that its younger self but still has the
recognisable succulent, nutty and creamy taste along with an extra
strong tang that comes with maturing it longer. It is made with
vegetarian rennet. Wyfe of Bath takes its name from Chaucer’s
Canterbury Tales and, like the tale, when you cut into a Wyfe of
Bath you will get a taste old England. This cheese can be purchased
as a Full Round (approx 2.4 kilos), Half Round (approx. 1.2 kilos),
and is vegetarian. About the Producer Award-winning cheese made by
hand at Park Farm, Kelston near Bath with milk from our own cows.
The Padfield family have been happily milking a herd of cows at
Park Farm for four generations. Edward Ernest Padfield took on the
240 acres of Park Farm in August 1914. Cheddar cheese was made by
his wife in the building that adjoined the farmhouse and the cows
were milked by hand in the building across the yard. They had a
small herd of Shorthorn cows. The local Bath Cheese was well known
in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was even recommended to Admiral
Lord Nelson in a letter from his father, written shortly after
Nelson’s victory at the Battle of Copenhagen.. Bath Blue came first
at the World Cheese Awards 2014-15, seeing off competition from
2,700 other cheeses from around the globe. All of our cheeses are
made using old-fashioned manual methods, which gives the cheeses
more flavour.
