Solstice is a soft, washed rind cheese made using Jersey cow's milk. Its rind is washed in local Somerset Cider Brandy. The wash gives savoury aromas and flavours which work in perfect harmony with the rich Jersey milk. As with all our Jersey cow's milk cheeses, the interior is a bright golden colour and the rind is peachy orange with delicate wrinkles with the rich milk giving this cheese a golden hue and creamy flavour.
You may see similarities between Solstice and a cheese made in the Champagne region of France, it boasts a mild sweet flavour throughout and a gentle lactic acidity and leaving this cheese to age slightly longer will develop the flavours to a more distinct and pronounced level while the texture becomes more soft and creamy.
This is a well-loved and versatile cheese; ideal as a centre piece for a cheeseboard, bake it for indulgent dipping, or simply boost the flavours of your bacon sandwich - it goes particularly well with cranberry sauce!
Made with pasteurised milk and vegetarian rennet.
