Sharpham Rushmore

£5.05£38.40

Sharpham Rushmore, an award-winning Great Taste 2024 Two Star semi-hard mixed milk cheese, was serendipitously created when our farmer mistakenly poured goat’s milk into the same tank as cow’s milk. Determined to avoid waste, the cheesemakers continued producing cheese with the mixed milk to see how it would taste. Delighted with their accidental invention, this cheese was packaged up and trialled at Powderham Food Festival 2021 to gauge the public’s reaction. Instantly a hit, Sharpham Rushmore was a triumph, and the team knew they must make more of this fortuitous accidental cheese.

The 2024 Great Taste judges also agreed, winning Two Stars, the judges commented.

“This is a handsome wheel with an attractive rind. On cutting, the knife went smoothly into the cheese. The lovely texture, which got softer towards the middle, was visible and inviting. It has a mild aroma, and super-smooth texture that melts on the palate, and then the flavours flood out. There is a touch of earthy ammonia in the rich, elegant creaminess and so much character, even in the rind, with a vegetal note that works with the cheese really well. We loved the finesse and gentle, sweet notes that blend with the lactic tickle, which leaves you smiling.”

A semi-hard cow’s and goat’s Milk cheese with refreshing acidity, Rushmore is rich and creamy in flavour with subtle floral sweetness and a lingering finish.
