What’s new this month – Spring Edition

It feels like Spring is here, finally, which is good timing for our market on 21 April because we are showcasing three spring milk cheeses – Soft Joyce, Golden Cross and Rachel – on Cheesewick HQ this month – with thanks to Faye from Big Wheel Cheese (find out a bit more about Faye).

Soft Joyce is made by Harriet Cooke in Wales from a small flock of sheep. The bloomy rind is washed in a local cider half way through the ageing process and the cheese has a sweet, earthy and honest flavour usually with a gooey velveteen texture from the extra ageing they get from maturing at Big Wheel Cheese.

Golden Cross is a raw goat’s milk cheese made by the Blunt family in East Sussex from their own herd. It’s a lovely bright white cheese with a thin layer of charcoal underneath the white bloom rind. It is smooth, creamy and delicious!

Rachel is a hard goat’s cheese made by White Lake and is not your typical goat’s cheese. It’s a semi hard, washed rind cheese with a delicate yet more-ish sweet/medium flavour.

See you Sunday 21 April 9.30am-3pm!

Cheese Hero Award 2024

The Virtual Cheese Awards are asking for votes for their Cheese Hero Award 2024. Know any cheese heroes locally? Could it be the volunteer team behind The Chiswick Cheese Market that’s raised over £20,000 for good causes since its inception 3 years ago and brought over 200 cheeses to Chiswick AND got a mention by Alan Sugar on The Apprentice last month… If you think they deserve the award then follow the link below and fill in your details.
