Binsey Red

We’ve named our Red Leicester-style cheese after Binsey, the northernmost of the ‘Wainwrights’ Lake District fells and the one closest to Park House Farm.

Binsey Red is a firm organic cheese well-suited to slicing and grating, or just enjoying a generous chunk on your favourite cracker.

The sweet, nutty, long-lasting flavour of Binsey Red lends itself well to pairing with sharp chutneys and pickles, and it will happily hold its own alongside stronger companions such as spicy chilli or raw onion – as you can probably gather, we consider it a prime candidate for inclusion in a classic ploughman’s lunch.

Binsey Red is matured in whole wheels for between three and four months in our cold storage barns for before being cut to order or sold as whole rounds.

CHEESE FROM THE EDGE OF THE LAKE DISTRICT

Park House Farm sits on the North West shoulder of the beautiful English Lake District, just a couple of miles from the border of the National Park. Whilst this precludes us from declaring ours is 'Lake District cheese', we still wanted to give a nod to the nearby mountains which give us so much pleasure and which we see every day of the year. Binsey may not be the most famous of the Wainwight Fells but, with the help of our Red Leicester-style cheese, we're hoping to put it firmly on the map!

Darling Howe

The pristine white rind of our British brie has the classic nutty flavour and surrounds a delightfully delicate, buttery soft cheese with distinctive citrus notes balancing the natural sweetness.
