Stinking Bishop

England, Dymock, Gloucester

A washed rind cheese using vegetable rennet, encircled with a collar of shaved bark to contain this soft melting cheese. The rind is washed in a perry from a variety of pear called Stinking Bishop (hence the name) to give depth to the taste. The aroma is quite pungent to be compared with say an Epoisses or a Vacherin Mont d’Or. The flavour is not too strong when young but given a little time in a high humidity and cool cheeseroom the flavours develop and become more interesting and richer.
