Sharpham Washbourne
Price range: £7.95 through £60.00
Named after the neighbouring hamlet of Washbourne — where sheep were once bathed in the River Wash — this cheese is made using exceptional ewe’s milk from Tom and Helen Garland. Washbourne is an unpressed, washed‑curd cheese with a subtle nutty flavour that deepens beautifully with age and a smooth, pliable texture achieved through curd‑washing. Once moulded, each cheese is bathed in brine, turned, and carefully nurtured until it reaches its supple, yielding perfection.
Rich, complex and gently savoury, Washbourne develops a rounded nuttiness as it matures, making it a distinctive and much‑loved part of the Sharpham range.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Washbourne is a wonderful alternative to Manchego in Mediterranean‑style dishes, or simply enjoy it on its own with a little quince jelly. Its gentle nuttiness pairs beautifully with livelier white wines such as Sharpham Pinot Gris Wild Ferment. For a simple small plate, try freshly steamed spring asparagus topped with finely grated Washbourne and a drizzle of good olive oil.
