Perry's Favourite This Week
Three-time Affineur of the Year
Connage Gouda
Tucked away in the Scottish Highlands, about as far from Holland as you can get, the Clarks at Connage Highland Dairy make a Gouda that genuinely stops people in their tracks. It's rich and creamy with this gorgeous butterscotch sweetness that deepens as it matures. We age ours in our Cambridge rooms until the paste turns properly golden and those little crystalline crunches start to come through. If you've ever had a really good aged Gouda and thought nothing could beat it, this one will change your mind. Proper British cheesemaking at its absolute best.

Waterkloof Circumstance Chenin Blanc
Organic & biodynamic from South Africa. Rich honey and baked apple aromas with a soft, creamy palate — it mirrors the butterscotch sweetness in the Gouda while the gentle acidity cuts through the richness. A proper match.
The Mystery Cheese Box
Five outstanding British artisan cheeses, hand-selected each month by three-time Affineur of the Year Perry James Wakeman. Every cheese comes from a small, independent British farm and is matured in our own rooms in Cambridge.
Why Rennet & Rind
More Than a Cheesemonger
At the heart of Rennet & Rind is a partnership between Mark Hulme, who has pioneered British artisan cheese for over three decades, and Perry James Wakeman, a three-time Affineur of the Year. Mark started the business in 1989 with a van and a cold room in Cambridge. Perry joined in 2013. Together, they have built something neither could have alone.
We are not a supermarket. We are an affineur-led cheesemonger, selecting and maturing the finest British artisan cheese in our own rooms.
