Eggleston
Eggleston is a small, soft cheese with an orange, delicate rind and a gently ripening centre. When young, it’s firm and fresh, with clean, bright flavours of lemon zest, crisp apple, and cultured cream. As it matures, the edges begin to soften, revealing a rich, spoonable layer beneath the surface. The flavour deepens too, bringing ripe pear, sweet butter, and a hint of damp straw.
About Our Supplier
Made by cheesemaker Jake Goldstein of Primrose Creamery, on the Welbeck Estate, Nottinghamshire.
The cheese is named for William Eggleston, a Nottinghamshire farmer who lost his life during the 1766 Cheese Riot. He wasn’t part of the violence, just caught in the middle while trying to protect his own goods. This cheese carries his name as a nod to the quiet strength behind good food, and the value people have always placed on it.
