Berkswell

Berkswell cheese is made by the Fletcher family at Ram Hall farm, near Berkswell, West Midlands. It is made from unpastuerised ewes' milk using traditional animal rennet. The moulds the cheeses are left in are plastic kitchen colanders, which gives the cheese it distinctive shape.

Flavour and texture Rich, sweet, fruity and nutty. Sometimes with a fruity acidity that is reminiscent of pineapples, sometimes creamy and biscuity, but the flavours are always, long, deep and mouth-filling.

The texture can be slightly grainy and depending on age varies from quite firm to moist and relatively soft.
