The Hawkstone Abbey Farm is the only one remaining that makes
clothbound, unpasteurized farmhouse Cheshire. At Hawkstone Abbey Farm in
Shrewesbury (not quite in Cheshire), John Arlott and his wife Lucy have
been making Cheshire since the 50's. In fact, their cheesemaking room is
still attached to their house. John Arlott believes one of the reasons
why Cheshire cheese is so special is due to the rich deposits of salt in
the soil on which their Friesian Holstein cross herd grazes. Cheshire
has had a reputation for being sharp and acidic, partly to do with the
amount of starter used. Appleby’s Cheshire uses less.
Cheshire is one of England’s oldest cheeses; it is even mentioned in the
Doomesday Book! In 1939, 400 farmhouses produced approximately 6,000
tons of Cheshire a year. Today, there are only a handful left.
The acidity takes longer to rise resulting in a richer, buttery, more
mellow flavor. Appleby’s Cheshire has a sweet, caramelly-ripe butter
smell with notes of straw and a bright acidity. Enjoy this special tangy
cheese with a Cabernet, Bordeaux or a fine ale.
