Russet Squire (Cider Washed Rind) 165g

Made by an Artisan cheesemakers tucked away in the heart of Cornwall who have lovingly crafted a range of superb Cornish soft cheeses! This cheese is characterized by its round shape and an edible rind that varies in colour from orange to pink-orange. As it matures, the rind may develop light white blooming on its surface, with the orange hue deepening and the texture becoming more wrinkled. Initially, the cheese ripens from the outside in, leaving a firmer core at the beginning of its life.

The aroma of this cheese is distinct, featuring lactic and cider notes that are associated with its rind. Upon slicing, it reveals a fresh, milky scent with a light lactic quality. As the cheese ages, its aroma intensifies but maintains an overall creamy profile, potentially developing slight ammoniacal notes towards the end of its lifespan.

In terms of flavour, the cheese starts off creamy with mellow lactic tones, complemented by subtle cider undertones from the washed rind. As it ages, the cheese becomes stronger in flavour while retaining its indulgent, velvet-like creaminess. The culture and cider-washed rind are key to its distinctive taste, which becomes increasingly pronounced over time.
