Baron Bigod Brie Style Cheese

Luxurious brie style cheese made by Fen Farm Dairy in Suffolk and voted Best British Cheese 2023, 2024 & 2025 Fine Food Digest. Beneath the nutty, mushroomy rind, Baron Bigod has a smooth, silky golden breakdown which will often ooze out over a delicate, fresh and citrussy centre. Baron Bigod is made by hand in small batches, very early in the morning to use the fresh milk straight from the cow. The mould cultures are added to the warm morning’s milk and it is gently gravity fed into small vats just a few metres from the milking parlour, where the rennet is added. The curds are carefully hand-ladled into large moulds, using traditional pelle-a-brie ladles and the young cheeses are hand salted and then aged for up to 8 weeks in a cave-like environment. It is a unique expression of the incredible milk off free-ranging Montbéliarde cows and the diversity of our wildlife-rich grazing marshland. For best flavour, bring to room temperature one hour before serving.
