Lincolnshire Poacher cheese
Lincolnshire Poacher cheese is a type of cheese produced in Lincolnshire, England. It is a hard cheese, similar in style to Cheddar, but with a distinct flavour that sets it apart.
History[edit | edit source]
Lincolnshire Poacher cheese has been produced by the Jones family on their farm in Lincolnshire since 1992. The cheese is named after the traditional folk song "The Lincolnshire Poacher".
Production[edit | edit source]
The cheese is made from the unpasteurised milk of the farm's own herd of Holstein cows. The milk is combined with rennet and starter culture to begin the cheese-making process. The curds are then cut, cooked, and pressed into moulds. The cheese is aged for between 14 and 24 months to develop its flavour.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Lincolnshire Poacher cheese has a smooth, hard texture and a strong, tangy flavour. It is often described as having a fruity, nutty taste with a hint of sweetness. The cheese is typically pale yellow in colour, with a natural rind.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Lincolnshire Poacher cheese is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. It is often enjoyed on its own, or with crackers and chutney. It can also be used in cooking, where it melts well and adds a rich, tangy flavour to dishes.
Awards[edit | edit source]
Lincolnshire Poacher cheese has won numerous awards, including gold medals at the British Cheese Awards and the World Cheese Awards.
