A rich soft-ripened flavoursome cheese

Chaucer's Choice is made with fresh pasteurised cows milk from a local herd of British Fresians grazing just below the Wye Downs.  This Camembert inspired cheese is named after the Poet Geoffrey Chaucer who was a Justice of the Peace for the county of Kent in 1385.

The cheese is made by adding special cultures called 'starters' to the warm pasteurised milk. Vegetarian rennet is then added to cause the milk to separate into curds and whey. When the curds have separated they are salted, put in to small round moulds and kept in the ripening room to develop the special texture and flavour, which takes 6 to 8 weeks.

Chaucer's Choice is delicious with a brown crusty loaf or why not try it melted into a bacon sandwich.
