About the Cheese
Barkham Blue, crafted from milk sourced from Guernsey cows, boasts a distinctive appearance with its ammonite-shaped round and natural mould-ripened rustic rind.
Its deep golden interior marbled with dark blue-green veins offers a rich blue taste and smooth, buttery texture, devoid of harshness.
This artisan blue cheese matures beautifully, becoming increasingly creamy and meltingly delicious.
Enjoy it with medium-bodied red wines and moderately sweet dessert wines.
About the Cheesemaker: Village Maid
Village Maid Cheese is a second-generation cheesemaking business based in the rural village of Riseley in Berkshire.
For 38 years, they have produced award-winning artisan cheeses that are unique in style while incorporating traditional cheesemaking methods. They use the highest quality milk from local farmers, including Heckfield Home Farm, situated less than 2 miles from their dairy.
Sustainability is paramount in their mission to produce great cheese, and the farms they source their milk from are leaders in regenerative agriculture, animal welfare, and sustainable farming practices.
Village Maid Cheese Ltd was founded by Anne Wigmore in 1986 after she spent a decade at the National Institute for Research in Dairying in Shinfield, where she initially worked in the microbiological department and then learned the craft of cheesemaking.
Today, the dedicated team at Village Maid Cheese continues to produce artisan cheeses recognised among the best in the world.
