Baron Bigod

Baron Bigod is a beautifully crafted British Brie-style cheese made from pasteurised cow’s milk at Fen Farm in Suffolk, offering a rich, full-bodied flavour with a soft, buttery texture beneath its delicate bloomy rind. Made by Jonny Crickmore from the milk of his own herd of Montbéliarde cows, it has a wonderfully earthy character with gentle lactic notes and a long, lingering finish.

Made using traditional French cheesemaking techniques, every stage of production is carried out by hand, from cutting the curds with long knives to transferring the delicate curds into moulds using traditional pelle-à-brie ladles. As the cheese matures, its wrinkled rind softens and breaks down the golden, buttery paste beneath, while a fine line of lactic curd remains at the centre, creating an exceptional contrast of textures and flavours.

Pair it with crusty sourdough, fresh figs, pear or a spoonful of chutney to complement its rich, earthy character. Also delicious baked until soft and gooey, spread onto warm toast or served as the centrepiece of a cheeseboard alongside cured meats, fresh fruit and sparkling wine.
