Lincolnshire Poacher

The esteemed Lincolnshire Poacher is a traditional artisanal cheese produced using unpasteurised milk from cows that graze on the farm’s lush pastures. It undergoes a maturation process of roughly 14 to 16 months, akin to Cheddar but with a more supple texture and a bold, spicy flavour. Crafted by Simon and Tim Jones, this cheese hails from their dairy farm situated on the eastern edge of the scenic Lincolnshire Wolds, where green fields lie upon chalky terrain. Dedicated to reducing their environmental footprint, the farm employs several sustainable energy solutions, including a wind turbine, solar panels, and a straw pellet boiler that heats milk with straw they bale themselves. While the taste varies according to the season, this aging duration imparts greater depth and complexity, typically resulting in a unique fruity, nutty profile with a crisp, sweet finish.
