More about Stinking Bishop ...

Stinking Bishop is a washed rind cheese dating back to the Cistercian monks. Stinking Bishop is washed in fermented pear juice (also called "Perry"), and the cheese develops a stinky, pungent, orange-colored, sticky rind as to get technical, Brevibacterium linens ripen the cheese from the inside out.

Produced by the infamous Charles Martell, a Glouster cheesemaker of some distinction, who besides producing great Double and Single Gloustershires, also has an enthusiasm for Perry. 

This interest led to Charles tracking down numerous old Pear varieties and the creation of the first national collection. Today, his best known cheese, Stinking Bishop, brings these two interests together, since it's curds are washed in perry.

There's no doubt that Martell has created a cheese of some distinction, smelly for sure, not disimilar to Pont L'Eveque or
Epoisses, but with a delightful taste – sweetish and, despite what the smell might suggest, actually not overwhelmingly strong.

Martell was interviewed on Radio 4's Today Programme at the launch of the famous Wallace and Gromit film in 2008. Asked about the likely impact of Stinking Bishop cropping up in film, he said he didn't really want to sell more or he'd have to employ more people and that would mean building a bigger car park!

Stinking Bishop is available only as whole cheeses in two sizes - 500g and 2kg.
