{"product_id":"stinking-bishop","title":"Stinking Bishop","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft textured washed rind cheese that develops a distinctive, meaty pungency with age. It is handmade by Charles Martell on his farm in the heart of Gloucestershire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name comes from a variety of pear called Stinking Bishop, the juice of which is made into a perry and used to wash the cheese. That is what gives it its nose. The texture should be somewhere around thick clotted cream, though on occasion it is spoonable rather than sliceable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was made infamous by a cameo in the Wallace and Gromit film Curse of the Were-Rabbit. The smell is powerfully pungent but the flavour is rather delicate and herbaceous, which surprises most people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllergen advice: this product is washed in and contains alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much to buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA whole cheese weighs approximately 1.6kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate.
