Described as a cross between a Vacherin and a Camembert, Winslade is a matured, soft cow’s milk cheese with a luxuriously rich, gooey paste and a spruce bound rind. Winslade is not washed, but uses similar moulds and bacteria to a washed rind cheese. This creates a characteristic pinky hue and dappled rind.

Characteristics: Supple and luscious, delicate and extremely creamy.

Best with: You can’t beat this cheese on toast, with a sweet cucumber pickle and goose rillettes.
