Curworthy Meldon Cheese 200g/400g
Meldon, is a lovely tangy hand-made artisan hard cheese (Curworthy), with the addition of wholegrain mustard, Chiltern Ale and a hint of garlic. This cheese has been hand-made deep in the heart of the rolling Devon countryside, with far-reaching views over Dartmoor.
Curworthy Cheese has been made by Rachel Stephens on Stockbeare Farm for the last 25 years. Originally owned by the Farmers Weekly newspaper who were reporting on what dairy farming entailed Rachel was called in on launch day as a ‘cheese cutter’. When it came time for the newspaper to sell she saw an opportunity and moved the business to a purpose built creamery a few miles away to her own farm. Using milk from their own herd of Friesian cows, the cheeses are matured on site in a temperature controlled ripening room where the cheeses develop their natural rind with a light covering of mould. This small, family run dairy farm produces a variety of cheeses including their most popular Devon Oke and their newest cheese Dartmoor Chilli – made using chillies from nearby Dartmoor Chilli Farm.
