If you are a fan of Brie with Truffles during the festive season, then this English alternative is a worth trying. Baron has an incredible flavour, and paired with the mascarpone and truffle through the middle, it makes for an incredible cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exquisite Suffolk-made, bloomy, pasteurised cows milk cheese in the style of a classic Brie de Meaux. A full-flavoured soft cheese with a nutty, mushroomy rind, its smooth, silky golden paste will often ooze out over a fresh, citrussy centre. Expect long-lasting flavours of warm earth, farmyard and mushroom, with occasional notes of citrus and truffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made with the delicate milky flavours of Montbeliarde cows milk. That milk is protein-rich and ideal for cheesemaking, and in France the same traditional breed produces some of the finest cheeses in the world, Comte and Vacherin Mont d'Or among them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaron Bigod is hand-made by Jonny and Dulcie Crickmore, a third generation family farm in Bungay, Suffolk, aiming to set the standard for dairy sustainability. They use only gravity-fed milk to protect the fragile fat globules during production, with no pumps at any stage. The curds are hand-ladled into large round moulds using traditional pelle-a-brie ladles, then hand salted and aged in a humid, cave-like environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the only traditional Brie de Meaux style cheese produced in the UK, and one of only a handful of its type in the world made by the farmer on the farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much to buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a baby Baron Bigod, a whole 1kg round in its own wooden box, sold as a complete cheese rather than cut to order.

Orders over £60 qualify for free delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe carefully pack every order to help keep your cheese in the best possible condition during transit. Royal Mail are very reliable, and most parcels arrive within 24 hours, but occasional delays can happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re ordering cheese for a special occasion, party or event, we recommend having it delivered a couple of days beforehand. This gives you some extra time in case of an unexpected courier delay and allows the cheese to rest and reach its best before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe currently deliver throughout the UK but do not offer international delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow We Pack Your Cheese\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery order is cut and packed by hand, fresh to order by our team of cheesemongers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour cheese is wrapped in breathable waxed paper, which allows it to breathe while helping to protect it during transit and in your fridge. It is then placed inside a thermal foil pouch with a frozen gel pack to keep it cool on its journey. The gel pack will naturally defrost during transit; this is completely normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, everything is carefully packed into a branded box to keep your order safe and presentable when it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re also conscious of the environmental impact of packaging. Around 95% of our packaging is recyclable or reusable, and we’re continually looking for ways to reduce waste and make our business more sustainable. We believe great cheese should be enjoyed with consideration for the planet, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecipe \/ pairing suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairing Suggestion - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thecheesesociety.co.uk\/products\/perello-smoked-catalan-almonds\" title=\"Smoked Spanish Almonds\"\u003eSmoked Almonds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe the whole round at room temperature, pile the center with fresh red fruits, smoked almonds and thyme and scoop away. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCheese quote\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI love to oven bake this whole Baron, drizzle with thyme honey and crushed garlic.
