Gallipot Eyes
£7.50
This cheese is based on a Gouda recipe and is matured for 6 months to 18 months. The name comes from writings by John Aubrey who wrote an unflattering description of North Wiltshiremen in 1656. Like Gouda but the cheese has more texture, depth and purity of flavour due to the single source of Brinkworth Dairy milk used to make it.
Gallipot Eyes is a perfect example of ‘fermier cheese’ which is where cheese is produced by a single farmer from the milk of their animals. It is a beautiful yellowish gold with an irregular crumbly texture punctuated by ‘eye-holes’. There is a strong aroma of hay and earthiness. A younger Gallipot will have a different flavour profile to that of a more mature cheese, which develops a tangy and caramel flavour while ageing in the ripening room and should be guaranteed a spot on any cheeseboard.
Works wonderfully well with French Crémant, slices of slightly tart apple or a tomato-based chutney will bring out the best in Gallipot Eyes. Slivers of ham, pickled peppers and lightly grilled thin crackers bring out Gallipot’s delicious meltiness.
