Spenwood

Spenwood is a hard cheese originating from Berkshire. The cheese is made from raw sheep's milk. It has a thin natural rind, while the texture is smooth and dense. The flavors are nutty, sweet, milky, and caramel-like, becoming slightly piquant as the cheese ages.

Spenwood is left to age for 9 months, but it can also be left to age for up to 12 months, when it becomes drier and the flavors are more concentrated. This cheese is ideal for cooking, and it's recommended to grate it over pasta. It was named after the Berkshire village of Spencers Wood.
