Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire
A traditional Lancashire made by the Kirkham family at Lower Beesley Farm, Goosnargh. Small amounts of liquid starter let acidity develop slowly, so savoury, creamy, rich flavours come through too. Each cheese blends curd from two different days, balanced by taste, then it's bound in buttered muslin and matured for about four months.
Tasting notes
Rich, buttery and creamy with a gentle, lively acidity. Known locally as "buttery crumbly".
