Baron Bigod Brie 1KG Fen Farm Dairy

Baron bigod is the product of three years of learning, travel and experimentation creating a unique and delicious brie-like cheese. The cheese is made on the farm in small batches very early in the morning, after the cows have been milked. The warm milk straight from the cows is perfect for cheese making and it is made just meters from the milking parlour.

The fresh curds are hand ladled into large moulds using traditional pelle-a-brie ladles and the young cheeses are then hand salted and aged for up to 8 weeks.

This traditional artisan process, only using the fresh warm milk creates a smooth delicate and silky texture, becoming a soft, white bloomy rind cheese with a golden curd, smooth, silky golden paste, often oozing out over a delicate, fresh and citrussy centre.

Its persistent, long lasting, earthy and mushroom flavours, comparable to the best french brie de meaux.

What to drink with Baron Bigod? Our Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc, a lightly oaked Chenin from South Africa or the Loire Valley complements Baron Bigod's creaminess while enhancing its subtle nuttiness. Likewise one of our Furleigh Sparkling Wines, like Furleigh Blanc de Noir is ideal.

Prefer a Red, then one of our Pinot Noirs – Preferably from Burgundy or a cooler English region, like our Furleigh Estate Pinot Noir. Its red fruit and low tannins pair beautifully with the soft, buttery texture.
