'Wyfe of Bath' Cheese by The Bath Soft Cheese Company
2.4kg
Brand: Bath Soft Cheese
Succulent, nutty and creamy. This semi-hard cheese is
redolent of buttercups and summer meadows. It is made by placing
the curd in cloth lined baskets, it retains the basket shape and
has a soft light caramel colour. 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) or 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.
