About the Cheese
A spruce-bound soft cheese that marries the best of Camembert de Normandie and Vacherin Mont D'Or cheesemaking traditions.
Developed over five years as a sibling cheese to the famed Tunworth, Winslade boasts a lusciously rich and creamy paste enveloped in a distinctive spruce collar. This unique wrapping imparts a delicate piney aroma and a subtle floral essence, creating a cheese that matures to perfection for an optimal taste experience.
Perfectly ripe Winslade reveals a soft, unctuous texture with a gentle floral earthiness, making it a standout on any British cheeseboard. Mild yet superbly rich, it delights with every bite and is a favourite among discerning palates.
Enjoy Winslade paired with medium-bodied red wines, ales, or whisky for a sophisticated gastronomic experience.
