Our Northumbrian take on Red Leicester with cracked black pepper.
Description

Bamburgh is our Northumbrian take on a classic Red Leicester, given a warming twist with plenty of cracked black pepper. Beneath its wax coat you'll find a cheese with the rich, russet colour and mellow, gently nutty character of a good Red Leicester, lifted by the aromatic heat of coarsely ground pepper running right through it.

Firm, full-flavoured and beautifully balanced - nutty and smooth with a peppery kick - it's a real cheeseboard favourite. Handmade in Northumberland, Bamburgh is wonderful with crackers and chutney, crumbled into salads, or melted over a jacket potato for a bit of extra bite.

Milk Provenance

The milk for our cows' milk cheeses comes from farms here in Northumberland, close to our dairy on the Blagdon Estate. Fresh local milk is the starting point for every batch of Original, Nettle, Oak Smoked and Chilli, and it is what gives them their rich, creamy character.

We ordered the four tier cheese wedding cake from them for our wedding on 29th December and it was the best experience. Lyn particularly was absolutely amazing and gave us advice and guided us through the process and a delicious tasting. All of the cheese was eaten after 2 days of celebration! And everyone commented on how delicious it was. Couldn't recommend more!
