Spenwood is a hard, pressed cheese made from unpasteurised ewes' milk. Reminiscent of Pecorino, its pale yellow paste has a smooth, dense texture and a sweet, slightly nutty flavour. Spenwood is produced by Anne Wigmore of Village Maid Cheese, based near Spencer Wood in Berkshire, from where this cheese takes its name. Matured for six months, it is perfect for grating over pasta or risotto. Spenwood won Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards 2017. More information >

The Wigmores make a range of four award-winning artisan cheeses: Spenwood, Wigmore, Waterloo and Maida Vale. The last of these was launched in November 2017 and has been developed by the next generation of the family's cheese-makers, Anne and Andy's son, Jake. It is a washed rind cheese made from unpasteurised Guernsey cows milk and a local craft beer called "Treason" from Uprising Brewery.
