Baron Bigod

Quantity

Made by Jonny Crickmore using a traditional Brie de Meaux recipe passed on by a French cheesemaker, Baron Bigod is the only raw milk Brie de Meaux style cheese made in the UK. An unctuous cheese, the taste is complex and beautifully balanced. Traditional Artisan Brie flavours, such as rich cream butter and earthy button mushrooms remain prominent, as well as accentuated hints of pan-roasted parsnips.

Profile of Baron Bigod will be selected by Perry to complement the cheese on your order.

A Word on Rennet & Rind Maturing

"Younger Baron Bigod's will be more lactic and gentle, ripened cheeses will be heavy in savoury notes, and a little more challenging. The trick to choose the correct profile to compliment your other cheeses. You don't need to worry, I'll select those for you."

Always have a piece of Baron whenever we have an order, I love this cheese!

Emma A.

Second monthly cheese box and we loved it! Great thing to get as a gift and chat/watch the video as we go through each cheese. Highly recommend.

Janette B.

I had to add this cheese, just in case it wasn’t in the selection box, delicious.

I used Rennet and Rind for the first time for my 50th birthday party, on a recommendation from my brother. We had a Baron Bigod, a Lincolnshire Poacher, a Sparkenhoe Red Leicester, a Dorset Blue Vinny, and a selection of Peter's Yard crackers. I don't think I will be able to buy cheese anywhere else, ever again.

Can you even have a cheese board without Baron Bigod?

Janette B.

I had watched the video & wanted to try this cheese for myself, it lived up to all expectations...delicious!

Wendy A.

The Baron Bigod as always was exceptionally good. I couldn't show you a photo as it had already been eaten! We were pleased with all the cheeses we purchased and as usual the before and after sales service was second to none. Will definitely order again and can highly recommend.

Nick B.

A personal favourite and made here in Norfolk. Creamy, full of flavour, perfect with crusty bread and a chilled white wine.

Gareth R.

This is a fabulous cheese! Bought it for a big (well social distance compliant) party and it was a great hit. Leftovers went into the oven for 15 mins at 200 C and finished off with caramalised onion chutney! Superb

Graham F.

Without doubt the best British brie style cheese

Carole H.

Wonderful cheese. Creamy flavour

Kim R.

Wonderful cheese and delightful dried meat. I'll be back. Thanks for the great tastes.
