Lamb Leer
Made by hand at Homewood Cheese, Ubly.
Lamb Leer is a handcrafted artisan cheese made by Homewood Cheese in the heart of the Chew Valley in Somerset, England. This semi-hard sheep's cheese is made from thermised milk from a single local flock. Named after a nearby cavern in the Mendip Hills, Lamb Leer is a delicately flavored cheese with a bloomy white coat that hides a unique interplay of textures.
It’s a delicate sheep's milk cheese that is handcrafted with care by Homewood Cheese. The cheese's bloomy white coat conceals an intriguing interplay of textures, with the paste just under the rind becoming supple as it begins to break down, while the core remains crumbly. This contrast of textures adds depth and character to the cheese and makes it a standout option for cheese lovers.
What sets Lamb Leer apart is its flavor profile. The cheese has a delicate balance of sweetness with a hint of sweet nuts and hay and has a fruity acidity, making it a unique and memorable cheese. Its flavor is perfect for pairing with fruits, crackers, and bread, and its crumbly texture makes it an excellent addition to salads and pasta dishes.
