Dairy and Cheese Shop. Bungay, UK
July 2020
I have a weak spot for cheese. So when I heard that Fen Farm dairy have a 24 hour, yes you heard right!, self-service shop, I realised I was entering dangerous territory. Raw milk from their Montbeliarde cows is used to make artisan cheese and the most incredible cultured butter I have ever tasted - it's so good that I could probably eat it on it's own...but I'll resist!
I had heard many people, all over the country talking about Fen Farm's Baron Bigod cheese, and wondered how a cheese from a small dairy in rural Suffolk has become so well known. Now I know. It's exquisite. Britain's first unpasteurised brie will give any French brie a run for it's money with it's distinctive flavour - earthy, creamy and utterly moorish. Also well worth a mention is the St Jude's cheese with it's strong flavour and fluffy, mousse-like texture.
I never knew butter could have so much flavour until I tried the Bungay raw butter. The UK’s only raw farmhouse butter to be produced by using a lactic culture, it's made by hand on the farm in the traditional way using 'butter hands'. It's near impossible to stop having 'just one more slice' when slathering on the freshest sourdough.
