OXFORD ISIS CHEESE 900G

Oxford Isis is a sticky, smelly, strong, washed-rind cheese made for the Oxford Cheese Company. This is the bigger, 900G version.

The cheesemakers firstly make a soft, creamy cheese which is then regularly washed in mead, made from Oxfordshire honey. Washing the cheese in this way changes its whole personality and it develops a sticky rind and a powerfully pungent aroma.

If you love the pungent washed cheeses of France, think Epoisse etc, then this English version is really worth a try.

Mead is an alcoholic beverage which is fermented with three basic ingredients: honey, yeast and water. It isn’t classified as beer or wine but stands apart in its own rank of alcoholic beverage. Mead was referred to as the “nectar of the gods” by ancient Greeks. It was believed that mead was dew sent from the heavens and collected by bees.

Also Available as a 200g, this is the bigger 900g Version
