Proclaimed by culinary master Raymond Blanc as “the Best Camembert in the World”, Tunworth is an ever-unfolding British Camembert whose vast array of taste sensations mount up to a cheese greater than the sum of its parts.

Made by the talented Stacey Hedges in the heart of Hampshire, Tunworth boasts a unique and delectable flavour profile that lingers on the tongue. Imagine a vivid sweetness with familiar cabbage and garlic notes, before unearthing a hint of earthy mushrooms in its creamy texture. Then there’s Tunworth’s signature white wrinkly rind which adds an extra layer of decadence to this irresistible cheese.

Launched in 2006, Tunworth took home the title of Supreme Champion at the British Cheese Awards that very year, then Gold at the World Cheese Awards the following year. Celebrated, acclaimed and adored. Perfect freshly on a cheeseboard or baked.

HERD

Holstein Friesian

Tunworth is made from Holstein Friesians. This breed  of dairy cattle originates from the Dutch provinces of North Holland and Friesland, and Schleswig-Holstein in Northern Germany.

MILK

Pasteurised

Pasteurised milk is used in the process of making Tunworth cheese. The process of pasteurisation involves heating milk to 71.7°C for at least 15 seconds (and no more than 25 seconds). Because of the nature of the heat treatment it sometimes referred to as the ‘High Temperature Short Time’ (HTST) process. Once the milk has been heated, it is then cooled very quickly to less than 3°C. The equipment which is used to heat and cool the milk is called a ‘heat exchanger’.

A Word on Rennet & Rind Maturing

"Keeping it wrapped and the occasional turning keeps Tunworth ticking over. Time and the right environment is all you need, and greater time means more robust flavours. Order with us, and your profile will be picked based on the other cheeses you order, and how well it will balance with the others."


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

Hampshire is the perfect blend of city, coast and country, blessed with the natural beauty of two National Parks, thriving culture, and history and heritage at its heart.

Stacey Hedges

Stacey Hedges’ journey into cheesemaking started in 2004 after working for cheesemongers in Australia, much in the same way our very own Mark Hulme founded Rennet and Rind: an educational venture that changed the course of its maker's life.


After arriving in the UK, she found a gap in the market for British-made French cheese and settled on the famous Camembert as her canvas. Making the first Tunworth prototype in her family kitchen, it went on to become an immediate success. Even today, Tunworth is made entirely by hand by a specialist team in a dairy nestled in the heart of the green valleys of Hampshire, which makes all the difference when it meets your eyes, nose and tastebuds.
