Village Maid are cheesemakers that just know what they are doing. They make the wonderful Wigmore, Waterloo, and Spenwood. Winner of best cows milk cheese at the recent Artisan Cheese Awards, Maida Vale is made in a similar style to Waterloo, except it is washed during maturation in IPA. So whilst the cheese is inherently buttery, creamy, and rich on account of using Jersey cows (notoriously creamy milk), the IPA brings into the mix a nice little tangy punchy kick that just keeps you pondering. As with all cheeses like this, the majority of that kick will come from the rind, so we recommend you compare the taste of the centre cheese vs the rind...quite a difference!
Meet the Maker
Inspired by the Italian cheeses she saw whilst sailing the med, Anne Wigmore began Village Maid Cheese in 1986. From humble beginnings in Reading, Anne has grown the dairy which now resides in Riseley using the milk from local farms to produce 5 award winning cheeses!
