Grace and flavour
© Stephanie Kalber Photography
Artisan cheese company Blackwoods' handmade
cow's milk cheese, Graceburn, is now widely
available to the retail sector. The first and only
cheese maker in the UK to produce this rich
and creamy feta-like marinated cheese from
raw cow's milk, Blackwoods makes all its cheese
from fresh organic milk sourced from a local
dairy herd from Bore Place Farm Kent, where
more carbon is put back into the ground than
removed by the farming processes. The herd is a
mix of Friesian with Holsteins, Swedish Red and
Montbeliarde cows, which yield a milk higher in
fat and protein than standard dairy cows, ideal
for cheese making.
A soft, creamy cheese, rich in flavour,
Graceburn is best described as a creamier
version of feta. Having been marinated in cold
pressed rapeseed oil from a local Kent supplier,
the cheese takes on the flavours and the silky,
luscious texture of the oil. With a similar texture
to feta, Graceburn works in salads, as part of
canapes, or added into warm pasta dishes. The vibrant yellow
jars of marinated cheese are available in three different flavours:
Original, with aromatic flavours of garlic, thyme and pepper;
Truffle, with luxurious black truffle; and Chipotle and Lemon with
chipotle chilli and lemon zest.
Graceburn is currently available from Fortnum and Mason
and Selfridges, Neals Yard Dairy and The Fine Cheese Company,
as well as independent local shops. You can also find Graceburn
at the Blackwoods Cheese Company outlet at Borough Market,
London.
