Spenwood – Made by Village Maid in Berkshire
A multi-award-winning pecorino-style cheese from Berkshire, England. Inspired by the ewe’s milk cheeses (Pecorini) of Sardinia, Anne and Andy Wigmore set out to create their own version in the 1980s. After years of development and fine-tuning, Spenwood was born. This firm, mature ewe’s milk cheese boasts a nutty flavour that becomes more piquant as it ages. It serves as an excellent alternative to pecorino and Manchego, perfect for those looking to support traditional British cheesemakers.

Spenwood – Sheep’s Milk – Pasteurised – Vegetarian (Riesley, Berkshire)
A hard-pressed cheese made from pasteurised ewe’s milk with a vegetarian rennet. The cheese is matured for 7-8 months with a thin, natural rind. Often compared to Pecorino, Manchego and even Parmigiano Reggiano, Spenwood has a well-developed, nutty flavour with elements of sweet and savoury and a supple texture. Kept longer it becomes more piquant, harder and slightly crumbly. A great substitute for Parmesan with pasta.
