Suffolk Gold
Suffolk Gold is a traditionally made, artisan, pasteurised cows’ milk cheese, which is produced by Suffolk Farmhouse Cheeses in Coddenham. This creamy semi-hard farmhouse cheese possesses a creamy delicate flavour, a unique golden colour and excellent melting properties.
Suffolk Blue
The Suffolk Blue also is carefully handmade by Katharine from Suffolk Farmhouse Cheeses, using traditional methods. The Suffolk Blue is a creamy lightly blue-veined cheese, and whilst the blue veining is seasonal in appearance, the depth of flavour remains.
It’s a soft and luxurious cheese that comes very highly recommended from cheese-lovers in the county!
Did you know… Suffolk Gold, Suffolk Blue and Suffolk Brie are all made with a vegetarian rennet and are made from pasteurised milk!
Suffolk Brie
The locally produced Suffolk Brie is the perfect choice for those that thoroughly enjoy a creamy, delicately flavoured Brie with a rich golden colour. With recipes tried and tested over many years, the Suffolk Brie is a fridge staple for all local cheese-lovers!
Baron Bigod
The award-winning Baron Bigod is the only traditional raw milk Brie-de-Meaux style cheese produced in the UK! It’s a creamy, white bloomy-ring cheese handmade on Fen Farm Dairy by Jonny and the team, from their own raw Montbeliarde cow’s milk.
It has a distinct, smooth silky texture and a golden curd, with long lasting warm earth, farmyard and mushroom flavours. Delicious!
