Lussmanns Woburn
Join Andrei Lussmann and his special guest, Rose Grimmond, farmer and owner of Nettlebed Creamery in Oxfordshire, producing outstanding (and delicious) organic English cheese. Rose is fourth generation dairy farmer and the farm converted to organic in 2001.
The herd, a mix of Swedish Reds, Montbeliarde and Holstein Friesians, graze on a rich grass diet, just a couple of miles from the creamery where Rose and team make three outstanding cheeses; Bix a triple-cream cheese prized for its indulgence, Witheridge in Hay which has the strength of a mature cheddar, but the sweetness and umami notes of an Alpine cheese, and Highmoor, a mild, washed rind cheese.
Enjoy a glass of Chapel Down Sparkling on arrival

~ CHEESES YOU’LL BE TASTING ~ BIX Winner of Best Soft White at the British Cheese Awards, Bix is fast becoming a British classic. Luxurious and complex, this triple-cream cheese is prized for its indulgence. Bix aficionados find it very hard not to finish one in a single sitting. WITHERIDGE IN HAY v The first time Witheridge was entered for an award, it won three stars with Great Taste. Most recently it has won Supreme Champion at the Virtual Cheese Awards 2024. The hay in which it is aged lends grassy notes to the rind as well as keeping the cheese beautifully moist. HIGHMOOR This washed-rind cheese is a plump delight. Mild with a brothy savouriness, it pairs well with everything from a pale ale to a glass of red. Witheridge has the strength of a mature cheddar, but the sweetness and umami notes of an Alpine cheese. It will hold its own on any cheese board |
