A small soft and oozing cheese with a quiet floral earthiness and is superbly rich and gentle on the palate. Its spruce band imparts a distinctive piney note.
Based on the Lyburn Gold, the smoked version is still a washed curd cheese but the eyes are not so prominent. It is smoother, giving a light and delicate flavour. During the maturation process the rind goes a glorious caramel colour and cannot be mistaken for any other.
Not dissimilar to a French Tomme De Savoie, Stoney Cross is mould-ripened and has a smooth texture with a creamy, buttery texture. Sweet and subtle flavours, with a distinctly earthy finish, the name Stoney Cross comes from an old World War II airfield, some 2 miles to the South of of the Lyburn creamery.
