Norfolk Tawny

UP
C

Norfolk Tawny is a semi-hard cheese with a texture similar to Caerphilly but a taste all of its own. Maker Arthur Betts of Ferndale Cheeses washes this cheese in Stoatwobbler beer from nearby Beeston Brewery. This imparts a subtle ale flavour. It also helps to ripen the cheese and creates a distinctive texture to the rind. Arthur’s award-winning cheese is based on Taleggio from Italy and is made from local unpasteurised milk. Read more

Norfolk Tawny

The Tawny is a great cheese that fits right in with the delicious East Anglian Cheese Selection that we ordered from Slate Cheese at the same time. Tawny could well become a regular favourite buy!
