Washed Rind Cheese

Washed Rind Cheese

These cheeses range from semi hard to soft in texture and can generally be counted on to have strong aromas.  Whilst maturing, they are washed or rubbed regularly in solutions such as brine which encourage a different mould to form on the rind, called B-Linens.  This mould is characterised by its pink / orange colour and breaks down the cheese to be spongy in texture, making them ideal for melting. If the cheeses are not sold as individual units but by weight, we sell them online in multiples of 250g and will always send each cheese cut as one piece unless directed otherwise.  If you require more than one piece of the same cheese, please state this in the comments box.
