From Village Maid Dairy in Reading. A hard-pressed cheese made from unpasteurised ewe’s milk with a vegetarian rennet. The cheese is matured for 7-8 months with a thin, natural rind.
Often compared to Pecorino, Manchego and even Parmigiano Reggiano, Spenwood has a well-developed, nutty flavour with elements of sweet and savoury and a supple texture. Kept longer it becomes more piquant, harder and slightly crumbly. A great substitute for Parmesan with pasta.
