Maida Vale – Cow’s Milk – Pasteurised – Vegetarian (Rielsey, Berkshire)

A semi-soft, washed-rind cheese made from pasteurised Guernsey cow’s milk with a vegetarian rennet.

The rind is washed with Soundwave, a local IPA from Siren Craft Brewery which produces tangy, bittersweet, malty notes on the palate and a buttery soft texture. Maida Vale incorporates a “washed-curd” method, whereby during the make, some of the whey is removed and replaced with water. This results in a less acidic cheese which is milder in flavour than a traditional brie or camembert. By removing some of the lactic acid, the breakdown is slower, which also helps to create a slightly firmer, fudgey texture with more bite.
