About the Cheese
Maida Vale is an artisan cow’s milk cheese made from the rich milk of Guernsey cows.
This semi-firm and creamy cheese features a bright orangey-pink edible rind, achieved through regular washing in a brine solution containing local IPA.
When young, it is somewhat crumbly inside, but its paste softens and becomes incredibly rich and mouth-coating as it matures. The flavours are buttery, nutty, and meaty, making it a truly unique cheese.
Enjoy Maida Vale with red wines and craft ales for a delightful pairing experience.
