GREY OWL

Grey Owl is a surface-ripened goat’s milk cheese named after the revolutionary conservationist Archibald Belaney who was fondly known as Grey Owl for his fascination with Native American culture.

This visually tempting cheese has a vegetable ash exterior that endows the cheese with a wrinkly, dark, slate-coloured and piquant smelling edible rind. As you cut the cheese into wedges, the snow white paste immediately strikes a contrast with the cloak of a rind. The interior paste is firm, crumbly and dense, softening at the edge of the rind. As it melts in your mouth, the smooth and silky texture of the cheese offers pleasing sharp and lemony flavour. This cheese was served at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!
