Baron Bigod

Baron Bigod is made by Fen Farm Dairy in Suffolk from the farm’s own raw Montbéliarde cow’s milk. Inspired by Brie de Meaux but unmistakably its own cheese, it develops a bloomy rind around a rich, glossy paste that softens from the outside in. At its best it is mushroomy, buttery and deeply savoury. I love serving it properly ripe, when the texture becomes almost spoonable beneath the rind.
