Cheese Board

As cheeky as the Wyfe of Bath in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tale of the same name, this cheese from the Bath Soft Cheese Company, is a true crowd-pleaser. It certainly pleased the crowds at the International Cheese Awards in 2019 when it scooped the Supreme Champion Award ahead of 5,000 other cheeses from around the world!

With an exquisite creaminess and distinctive flavour, the Wyfe of Bath is also recognised for its plump, buxom shape (another nod to Chaucer’s 14th-century heroine). This rotundness is formed as the curd is placed into cloth-lined baskets and the cheese takes on the shape of the basket. This semi-hard cheese can be bought as a full round, half round or in segments.

Established in 2006, The Cotswold Cheese Co has been owned by husband and wife, Jon and Lisa, since 2010. The first shop in Moreton-in-Marsh quickly became the talk and taste of the town, with Cotswoldians and tourists alike travelling from far and wide to sample the cheesy delights of The Cotswold Cheese Company. The company has since gone from strength to strength, opening another store in Stow-on-the-Wold and a franchise in Burford, as well as establishing a thriving online business at cotswoldcheese.com
