Ashcombe Cheese

Made by David Jowett, of Rollright fame, the Ashcombe is broadly speaking a British take on the French Morbier. Unlike the Morbier however, the texture is a touch firmer, and the flavour is far more buttery, richer, but with the same level of milkiness. Aesthetically, it also has the line of ash running through the centre, and it is rind washed. Matured for around 5 months, this cheese won the 2021 British Cheese Awards Supreme Champion, and if you haven’t already, it’s well-worth a go!
