Sussex Slipcote | Local Cheese From Horsted Keynes, England | TasteAtlas

Sussex Slipcote

Sussex Slipcote is an English cheese hailing from Horsted Keynes, West Sussex. This fresh cheese is made from sheep's milk, and it's often flavored with peppercorns, garlic, or aromatic herbs. The ripening period usually lasts for 10 days.


The texture is soft, moist, and almost mousse-like. The aromas are clean and fresh, while the flavors are lemony and tangy with sweet notes. The name of this cheese is derived from an old English word meaning a little (slip) piece of cottage (cote) cheese.


It's recommended to spread Sussex Slipcote on biscuits or bread. Alternatively, use it with pasta dishes or baked potatoes.
