TOTNES, PASTEURISED, VEGETARIAN RENNET

Made by Ben Harris on the Ticklemore farm – which produces several other of our cheeses – the milk for this blue comes from a farm at Buckfast, on the edge of Dartmoor. Because the goats are allowed to roam free and half the herd is kidded annually, the variability of flavours is vast – wheel-to-wheel as well as season-to-season. From firm, crumbly and aggressive with a slight grain to mellow and moist with a sweet nutty fruitiness, the strength of this cheese lies in its continual defiance of expectation.
