Description
Lindum is a washed rind cows milk cheese from Cote Hill Dairy in Lincolnshire, named after the old Roman name for the city of Lincoln. It has an elegant depth of flavour, a firm to semi-firm texture, and finishes slightly earthy and smooth.
Regular washing in local Tom Wood's Bomber County beer gives the cheese its natural pink rind, which develops a pungency as it matures and feeds extra flavour back into the paste.
Michael and Mary Davenport have farmed at Cote Hill Farm, Osgodby, in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds for over thirty years. Lindum is hand-made on the farm by Michael and Mary with their sons Joe and Ross, using milk from their eighty pedigree Friesian cows.
Allergen advice: this product contains alcohol.
How much to buy
A whole Lindum weighs approximately 1.6kg.
All cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can and happy to offer advice on purchasing the right amount if you are unsure. If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.
Delivery
Your cheese is cut fresh to order, wrapped and packed by hand and delivered on the day you choose. We deliver across the UK from Tuesday to Friday each week. If you are ordering for a gift or special occasion we advise you to always allow an extra day in case of any unforeseen courier delays.
Recipe / pairing suggestion
A robust chutney holds up against the washed rind. Naturally enough, a pint of local ale is the drink to reach for.
Washed in Lincolnshire beer, made in the Lincolnshire Wolds. About as local as a cheese gets for us.
