Ewe Moo

The Northumberland Cheese Company Since 1984 Mark Robertson has been making farmhouse cheeses in the heart of Northumberland. " Our knowledge and expertise in the cheese industry has led to a full range of artisan cheeses with a range of different milks, including cow's milk, goat's milk and sheep's milk." Ewe Moo 150g This unusual farmhouse cheese was created accidentally, when a batch of rich sheep’s milk was unintentionally mixed with fresh cow’s milk before cheesemaking. The result is a semi‑firm cheese with a pale ivory paste and a thin, natural rind. It combines the buttery sweetness and gentle lanolin warmth of sheep’s milk with the softer, fresh‑cream character of cow’s milk, giving a flavour that is round, mellow and slightly nutty. The texture is smooth and supple with a light spring, and as it warms it becomes lusciously creamy on the tongue. What began as a one‑off mistake has turned into a distinctive, small‑batch cheese with real rustic charm.”
