Sharpham Washbourne
Price range: £7.95 through £70.00
Named after the neighbouring hamlet of Washbourne, where sheep were once bathed in the river Wash, we use the excellent ewes’ milk from Tom & Helen Garland to make this unpressed washed curd cheese. Washbourne has a subtle, nutty flavour that develops with age and a pliable and smooth texture, achieved by washing the curds. Once moulded, we bathe it in brine, turn it, and nurture it until perfect.
A washed curd cheese with a supple, yielding texture, it is rich and complex and develops savoury nuttiness with age.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
A great alternative to manchego in Mediterranean-style dishes, or simply enjoy Washbourne on its own with a little quince jelly. The nuttiness works really well with a livelier white wine such as Sharpham Pinot Gris Wild Ferment. Try it as a small plate, with freshly steamed spring asparagus and finely grated Washbourne over the top, drizzled with oil.
