Birdoswald Organic Farmhouse Cheese

A piece of history from a living countryside.

Our cheese is made using the original recipe brought to Ayrshire in Scotland, by Barbra Gilmour from Ireland in 1688. 

The small herd of Ayrshire cows, feeding on the clover rich pastures and hay meadows at Slack House Farm, are ideal for reproducing the texture and flavour of this unique cheese.

Warm milk, straight from the cow, is hand-worked for up to 5 hours to produce a 20 lb cloth bound, mould ripened cheese that is matured for up to 6 months.

Suitable for vegetarians as we use vegetarian rennet.
