Montgomery’s Farmhouse Cheese

Introducing Ogleshield - the premium cheese made from the rich and creamy milk of Jersey cows. Developed by the renowned Cheddar maker, Jamie Montgomery, this unique cheese is a fusion of Cheddar and Tomme, crafted from the herd of Jersey cows he had long raised on his farm. Unlike the rich, buttery milk, which was unsuitable for traditional Cheddar-making, the new recipe resulted in a cheese that has a perfect balance of flavors and texture.

To enhance the taste, Bill Oglethorpe came up with a brilliant idea of washing the rind in brine, which not only retained the moisture in the cheese but also imparted meaty and savory flavors. The result is a cheese with a supple texture and a rich, earthy flavor, that's perfect for melting and can serve as an excellent alternative to Raclette.

Named after an ancient bronze shield found in the area, Ogleshield is produced in a region steeped in history and is believed to be one of the possible sites for the legendary Camelot. Get ready to taste history with every bite of Ogleshield, order yours today!
