Lyburn Farmhouse Cheesemakers from the New Forest have just won Best British Cheese at this year’s World Cheese Awards with their Stoney Cross.
The semi-hard, pasteurised cow’s milk cheese is made with vegetarian rennet and matured for 8 weeks by Lyburn Farmhouse Cheesemakers near Salisbury. Stoney Cross was also named Best Specialist Cheesemakers Association Member cheese, sponsored by the Specialist Cheesemakers Association.
Stoney Cross won a Super Gold. This cheese is the youngest offering from Lyburn Farmhouse Cheesemakers. It’s mould ripened, not dissimilar to a French Tomme De Savoie. At eight weeks old it’s creamy and buttery in texture with sweet flavours and a distinctly earthy finish. Absolutely delicious!
