Mrs Kirkhams – Made by Graham Kirkham in Goosnargh, Lancashire

Mrs Kirkham’s Lancashire is a fantastic, a buttery finish and a flaky texture cows’ milk cheese, with delightfully lactic flavour. Made on the Beesley Farm in Lancashire to the same recipe Mrs Kirkham first made it in 1978, though the cheese today is now made by Graham Kirkham, her son. This is the only Lancashire still made with unpasteurised cows’ milk and hence the only Lancashire you should ever buy.

Description

Mrs Kirkhams Lancashire – Cow’s Milk – Raw – Animal Rennet (Goosnargh, Lancashire)

This is a traditional Lancashire cheese made by the Kirkham family at Lower Beesley Farm. They use liquid starter cultures and small quantities of the culture, allowing the cheese to develop acidity slowly which in turn allows other savoury, creamy, rich flavours to develop too. The distinctive thing about this Lancashire is that each cheese is made from a combination of curd from 2 days. This is done to taste, altering the quantities to balance out the acidity, as the older curd will have stronger acidity. The cheese is then bound in buttered muslin which allows some moisture to escape during maturation and it is kept for four months.
