The smelliest cheese selection

It's not to everyone's taste but there's something alluring about a smelly cheese, capturing the interest of those young and old. Whether it makes you salivate with pleasure or run and hide, with the pungency bringing tears to your eyes, we're all a bit curious about a good old smelly cheese.

We have a selection of smelly cheeses that we'll select four from and you can read more below.

Minger

A relatively new Scottish cheese with a wonderful name. Soft and creamy, but with a stronger pungent rind and lingering aftertaste, Minger is a firm favourite both online and in our shop. We have to keep increasing our order to keep up with demand.

Renegade Monk

A new cheese in our product line but rapidly establishing itself as a favourite. Washed in ale and with a hint of blue, this is full on smelly, with a protective wrapper to keep that aroma under control until you're ready to eat it.

Strathearn

Another Scottish cheese, but not as soft as it's cheesey counterparts on here. Washed in a solution containing 10 year old single malt whisky to really crank up the smell, this is a unique cheese with the whisky bringing a slight smokiness to the rind and really working the flavour up to its full potential.

Oxford Isis

Hailing from Oxfordshire, Oxford Isis is washed in honey mead is it matures and this brings out a real sticky, pungent rind which imparts a lot of flavour into the creamy cheese within. Not dissimilar to the French Epoisses cheese, but perhaps a little sweeter.

Rollright

From King Stone dairy, Rollright is one of our new favourites. Wrapped in spruce, with a lovely soft and creamy texture, Rollright is a great winter cheese and is bursting with flavour.

Langres

This cheese looks amazing as well as tastes amazing. It's distinctive wrinkly, orange rind is a great talking point, and the lovely fudgy texture adds to the pleasure.

Golden Cenarth

This is a wonderful Welsh washed rind cheese made with organic cows milk. With a sticky orange rind, Golden Cenarth similar to Epoisses, but perhaps not quite as strong. 

Somerset Solstice

Made by Whitelake, using Guernsey milk, Solstice is a creamy delight of a cheese. Similar in style to Langres, but unique in its own way, it's a great addition to any cheeseboard.

 

We'll add a box of our favourite crackers and some chutney to help with the cheese enjoyment.

This is a great gift for a cheese lover, but they might need to open a window or too when they eat it!
