Willoughby

Willoughby, an exclusive creation of Jasper Hill Farm, known for producing cheeses and offering cheese maturing cellars for other producers. Willoughby was originally created by Marisa Mauro's Ploughgate Creamery, but after a fire in 2011, Jasper Hill resurrected the recipe and continued production on their farm. This washed-rind cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk and aged for 6 to 12 weeks. It features a thin, tender, rosy-orange rind, enhancing the earthy texture and flavours of its gooey interior. With its semi-soft, buttery texture and pale yellow caramel paste, Willoughby offers a range of flavours from delicate milky and herbal notes to ripe peach, evolving into hints of peat, roasted beef, and onions from the rind. Willoughby has earned its place among the top 20 cheeses at the 2024 World Championship Cheese Contest. Willoughby complements well with Rosé, Saison beer, or raw floral honey.
