Hard & aged Cow’s milk

Beacon Fell Lancashire

also called Creamy Lancashire

Made by blending two or three days’ curd — a technique nobody else uses.

Drawn by the app from this cheese’s own record — paste, rind and texture come from the data, not a stock library.

Traditional Lancashire is made from curd of two or even three different days, blended together. Small farms could not fill a vat in one milking, so they saved yesterday's curd; the practice stayed because it produces a texture nothing else quite matches.

Light, fluffy and buttery with a gentle lactic tang. It is the toasting cheese in the north of England, and it melts into a cloud rather than a puddle.
