Baron Bigod

Baron Bigod is the only traditional  Brie-de-Meaux style cheese produced in the UK and one of only a handful of its type in the world to be made by the farmer on the farm. Beneath the nutty, mushroomy rind, Baron Bigod has a smooth, silky golden breakdown which will often ooze out over a delicate, fresh and citrussy centre. Baron Bigod is made by hand in small batches,  just a few metres from the milking parlour,. The curds are carefully hand-ladled into large moulds, using traditional pelle-a-brie ladles and the young cheeses are hand salted and then aged for up to 8 weeks in a cave-like environment. Baron Bigod is truly unique. Its flavours, aromas and characteristics change with the seasons. It is a unique expression of the incredible milk of the free-ranging Montbeliarde cows and the diversity of the wildlife-rich grazing marshland. A true and edible account of the “terroir” of this special part of Suffolk, nestled in the elbow of the Waveney River Valley.
