Our very own creation, The Duke is an exquisite cultured blue instilled with complex flavours and a golden interior with dashes of royal blue. Taking the prestigious Super Gold medal at the World Cheese Awards, The Duke is the crowning glory of British blue cheeses.

Made from unpasteurised cow’s milk cheese, this blue is made by our fair hands using the milk of cows that have grazed on clover-rich pastures. Aged for 12 weeks, this variety quickly develops with veins of salty tang. It's the kind of cheese that demands savouring, with nuances that unfold and evolve from creamy, sweet and salty flavours to a piquant peppery finish.

HERD

Red Poll

The Duke is made from milk of the Red Poll cow. The Red Poll is a dual-purpose breed of cattle developed in England in the latter half of the 19th century. The Red Poll is a cross of the Norfolk Red beef cattle and Suffolk Dun dairy cattle breeds

MILK

Unpasteurised

Raw milk or unpasteurised milk is used in the creation of The Duke. This means that the milk used has not been pasteurised, a process of heating liquid foods to kill pathogens for safe consumption and extending the shelf life.

A Word on Rennet & Rind Maturing

“The Duke is known for being delightfully unpredictable. All the best cheeses are! Currently, we have swathes of wild microflora settling on the cheese, and we are changing our turning schedules to reduce this.”


- Perry James Wakeman, Rennet and Rind’s resident affineur

Lincolnshire, British isles

Our Cambridge maturing rooms are situated in the same area where our founder, Mark Hulme, started selling cheese in 1989. Cambridge is rich in cheesemaking culture, from historical varieties like Cottenham to modern marvels such as Cambridge Milk.
