Stinking Bishop cheese

The Stinking Bishop ( Stinking Bishop ) is an English intensively smelling cheese.

History

Charles Martel saved in the 1970s almost single-handedly the almost forgotten breed of cattle Gloucester ( also the name of a city) from extinction. To make their public danger, he made from the milk cheeses. Today, he buys milk from Friesian cows in order to meet its needs. The Stinking Bishop goes back to a cheese with a washed rind, which was previously made ​​on Martell's country of Cistercians. The name is indeed aptly - the cheese really stinks - but comes from the pear variety from which one ( a must, with the rind is washed ) makes Perry.

Production

The break from pasteurized milk drips off, but given ungeschnitzelt in the flat shape. In order to increase the moisture content and to promote the growth of bacteria, it is salt added only after the removal of the mold. The cheese is aged six to eight weeks and is thereby washed several times with Perry.

Enjoyment

Similar to Epoisses he has a sticky yellow-orange rind and a soft, almost zerlaufenden dough is harder only in certain seasons and crumbly. The taste is strong, but less stringent than the odor. With a burgundy cheese develops its full flavor.
