A fascinating British interpretation of brie (loosely speaking), this is made by the same producers of the Camembert-style 'Waterloo'. Made from sheep's milk, Wigmore is milkier, butter-rich, and rather than earthy, it has a soft creaminess that's balanced by a lovely fruity-sweet fermented aroma. Finally, there's the perfectly smooth finish, with none of the bitterness you get from a Brie or Camembert. It allows some nutty caramel flavours to come into the mix, which is totally unexpected from a bloomy rind cheese like this. A really lovely, relatively mild cheese for those wanting something more subtle and relaxed compared to the more robust flavours that are usually associated with a Brie or Camembert. This is cheese-making at its most masterful.
Delivery is not only free, and not only at a set day of your choosing, but also comes in a climate control box (the only in the industry) that comes with a 48 hour freshness guarantee.
If that wasn't enough, we also add an insert that will talk you through the info on the cheeses, tasting notes and a scorecard to help you make the very most of your cheesegeek delivery!
