St Jude is a small, soft, mould-ripened cheese that captures the very essence of the seasons. Its rich, creamy paste is wonderfully soft, giving way to delicate flavours that shift with the cow’s diet, offering a true reflection of the land.

In spring and summer, expect bright, grassy notes with a hint of fresh cream. As autumn and winter roll in, St Jude becomes more indulgent, with buttery richness and a slight earthiness that rounds out each bite. It’s a cheese that evolves with the year, always keeping things interesting and beautifully balanced.
