Lancashire, Kirkham's

Artisanal CheeseClock Pairing Tool

Kirkham's Lancashire perfectly epitomizes the "butter crumble" texture so characteristic of British cheeses. Mrs. Kirkham - the legendary Lancashire cheesemaker - rubs her beautiful, cloth-wrapped wheels of cow's milk with her farmhouse butter, enriching the taste and protecting them from unwanted molds. Aged for 5 - 8 months, Lancashire has a delicate, lemony flavor and a long-lasting mellow tang. Try this cheese with a luscious white (i.e. Riesling, Gewurztraminer), spicier red (i.e. Pinot Noir), or dark, British Ale.
