Grimbister Cheese

Grimbister is a soft, crumbly cheese, somewhat like Wensleydale.

It is a farmhouse cheese, made using unpasteurized milk. No rennet is used to curdle the milk.

As Grimbister Cheese ages, it develops a slightly fruit taste. Flavours available (as of 2005) include: Plain, Apricot, Caraway, Chive, Cranberry, Garlic, Ginger, Pineapple, Smoked, Walnut, and Whisky.

It is sold in vacuum-packed portions of 6 oz (175 g), 12 oz (350 g), 25 oz (700 g), and 6 1/2 pounds (3 kg.)

Grimbister Cheese is made in Kirkwal, Orkney, Scotland by Eddie and Hilda Seator using milk from their own cows.

History Notes for Grimbister Cheese
