Dorstone Cheese

Made in Herefordshire by Charlie Westhead at Neal’s Yard Creamery. Dorstone is cylindrical with a grey/green exterior covered in vegetable ash. Mousse-like fluffy texture with a lemony, zesty and slightly vegetabley flavour. It’s named after Dorstone Hill, on which the creamery is situated. The cheese is made using kid’s rennet which Charlie feels adds an extra dimension to the flavour, this method is common in France but rare in Britain. Based on French goat’s cheeses like Chabis, but with a gentler more delicate flavour.
