Brother Michael is a semi –soft rind washed cheese , based on our Saint Giles.
Created by washing a 6 week matured Saint Giles cheese in brine and special cheese cultures several times a week for four weeks.
This process creates the lovely orange - pink colour on the sticky cheese surface and the distinctive sticky pungent aroma.
The texture is soft and creamy but the flavour is not as strong as the aroma would imply.
