Appleby's Cheshire - Neal's Yard Dairy

Appleby's Cheshire is The last remaining raw milk, clothbound, and traditionaly crafted farmhouse Cheshire Cheese in Britain. Produced by the Appleby family since 1952 at Hawkstone Abbey Farm in Shropshire, England, it is revered for its crumbly texture, clean lemony tang, and savory mineral flavor. Cheshire is one of England’s oldest named cheeses, and thousands of farms once produced it before mechanized production took over in the 1900s. The Appleby family has kept this historic method alive by aging their cloth-bound wheels on wood for three months in old farm barns. The day-to-day operations are run by the third generation, Paul and Sarah Appleby. A timeless, traditional British Territorial cheese full of delicious, grassy, piquant flavours. It has an earthy complexity and a subtleness that lingers. MILK TYPE: Cow ORIGIN: England PASTEURIZATION: Raw RENNET: Traditional
