#9: Mrs Bourne’s Mature Cheshire

Hello folks

This week sees a return to the Bourne family in Malpas (mentioned in COTW #3). The family has been making cheese since the 1700s, at its current farm since 1930, and John Bourne describes Mrs Bourne’s Mature Cheshire as their flagship.

We currently have the coloured variety, although don’t be expecting anything vibrant – think more pale coral than red leicester. It is the fullest flavoured cheshire I’ve come across yet, and is great on a ploughman’s with a good onion pickle (or indeed pickled onion).

Toodle-oo

*did you know our neighbours at Tea on the Green feature our Cheese of the Week on their ploughman’s?
