Baron Bigod is a traditional Brie-de-Meaux style cheese produced in the UK and one of only a handful of its type in the world to be made by the farmer on the farm. Baron Bigod is made by hand in small batches, very early in the morning so that only fresh milk straight from the cow is used, at the perfect temperature for cheesemaking. 

The mould cultures are added to the warm morning’s milk and it is gently gravity fed into small vats just a few metres from the milking parlour, where the rennet is added. The curds are carefully hand-ladled into large moulds, using traditional pelle-a-brie ladles and the young cheeses are hand salted and then aged for up to 8 weeks in a cave-like environment.

It is a unique expression of the incredible milk of free-ranging Montbeliarde cows and the diversity of the wildlife-rich grazing marshland.
