Wyfe of Bath is a traditional English farmhouse cheese, matured for 4–6 months to develop a rich, layered character. Its deep golden paste and silky texture reveal a firm yet bouncy cheese that melts in the mouth, reminiscent of a classic Gouda.

The flavour is indulgent and complex: grassy, buttery, and nutty at first, with sweet caramel and umami notes unfolding alongside occasional bright hints of pineapple. Its fudgy, creamy richness evokes the aroma of buttercups and sunlit summer meadows, while the balanced texture ensures a satisfying bite every time.

Inspired by Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Wyfe of Bath offers a taste of old England with every slice. Its style echoes the cheeses historically crafted by farmers’ wives from soured milk, preserving the authentic farmhouse character and heritage.

Rich, complex, and deeply satisfying, Wyfe of Bath is perfect for a cheeseboard, paired with fresh fruit or chutney, or melted to elevate savory dishes. Served at room temperature, it reveals its full depth of flavour and luscious, creamy texture — a true celebration of traditional English cheesemaking.

Extra Mature

Extra Mature Wyfe of Bath is a distinguished, farmhouse semi-hard cheese, matured for 12–18 months to develop exceptional depth and complexity. Its handsome golden rind and smooth, elastic interior make it as appealing visually as it is on the palate.

The texture is firm yet wonderfully creamy, yielding a satisfying bite that melts in the mouth. The flavour is rich and layered: initial notes of balanced salt give way to deep, nutty, fudgy caramel tones, accompanied by a gentle tang and subtle acidity. The richness is harmoniously balanced, with hints of sweetness and a lingering, indulgent finish that keeps you coming back for more.

This cheese is the natural evolution of the traditional Wyfe of Bath, taking the same classic farmhouse base and maturing it slowly to enhance its flavour and complexity. While stronger and more assertive than its younger counterpart, Extra Mature Wyfe retains the silky, melt-in-the-mouth consistency that makes the Wyfe so beloved.

Crafted with patience and passion, Extra Mature Wyfe of Bath is perfect for those seeking a more intense, refined cheese experience. It shines on a cheeseboard, pairs beautifully with robust wines, or can be savoured on its own to fully appreciate the deep, nutty, caramelised notes that only long maturation can achieve.
