Winslade Cheese is a unique creation of Hampshire Cheese Company Ltd, which is known for its artisanal craftsmanship in cheesemaking. Winslade is a soft, rich cheese that is encircled by a spruce bark band, which contributes to its distinct earthy flavor and creamy texture.
The cheese itself is similar in style to the famous French Vacherin Mont d’Or, blending the tang of a washed rind with the voluptuous, gooey richness one might expect of a cheese encased in wood. The Hampshire Cheese Company produces Winslade using pasteurized cow’s milk, which ensures a consistent and safe quality.
This cheese is particularly noted for its luxurious, almost spoonable interior when ripe, making it a favorite during the cheese board sessions in colder months.
