White Lake Releases New Cheese

The cheese, named Sheep Rustler, is made from thermised ewes milk and aged for around three months to create a medium mellow flavour.

The cheese is made to the same recipe White Lake uses for its Rachel cheese to create a semi-soft cheese with a washed rind and sweet and nutty flavour, but uses ewe’s milk instead of goat’s.

Peter Humphries of White Lake Cheese said, “We called this cheese Sheep Rustler because the first batch was made by Russell, our head cheese maker. We are also making some other ewe’s milk cheeses, a soft white called Little She and an ashed one.”
