Baron Bigod – 100g
£3.75
Jonathan and Dulcie Crickmore have been dairy farmers all their lives at Fen Farm Dairy in Suffolk. Falling milk prices prompted them to diversify into cheese making. Seeing a gap in the market for a large (3 kg) unpasteurised Brie (similar to Brie de Meaux) they started to develop Baron Bigod. This involved purchasing a herd of French cows (Montbeliarde) to provide the rich milk needed to complement their newly acquired cheese-making skills. Baron Bigod is a rich creamy brie with all the vegetal flavours associated with the French equivalent.
Made with unpasteurised milk and traditional rennet.
