Their herd of Montbeliarde cows graze the beautiful marshlands of the Waveney River Valley and their delicious milk is pasteurised to make the finest artisan cheeses by cheesemaker Jonathan Crickmore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaron Bigod is the product of three years of learning, travel and experimentation creating a unique and delicious Brie like cheese. The cheese is made on the farm in small batches very early in the morning, after the cows have been milked. The milk is then pasteurised in the dairy, just meters from the milking parlour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fresh curds are hand ladled into large moulds using traditional pelle-a-brie ladles and the young cheeses are then hand salted and aged for up to 8 weeks. The makers -Jonny and Dulcie Crickmore are committed to 'greener farming' through the use of solar power, heat exchange (harnessing the heat extracted from the warm cows' milk and using it to help heat washing water for the milking parlour) and also through reduced fuel consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cheese is crafted from the raw milk of a rare breed of cow called the Montbéliarde, which is known for its rich milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAwards: 2024 British Cheese Awards 2024: Gold 2018 James Aldridge Memorial Award: Best British Raw Milk Cheese 2017 British Cheese Awards: Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePasteurised Cows milk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAge: 2 weeks+\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrength: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardness: 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCountry of origin England\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTypical Values per 100g\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy kJ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1510\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy kcal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e365\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFat (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30.94\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eof which saturates (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbohydrates (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eof which sugars (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;0.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFibre (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtein (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalt (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorage Keep refrigerated.
