Lyburn Farm Old Winchester
Lyburn Farm, Wiltshire
Olde Winchester, crafted at Lyburn Farm in the New Forest, is a bold and characterful British cheese that bridges tradition and innovation. Aged for around 18 months, it develops a firm, crystalline texture with a rich amber hue and a distinctive nutty depth reminiscent of aged Gouda or Parmesan. Made with vegetarian rennet, it’s a versatile choice—equally at home on a cheeseboard or grated over dishes as a robust alternative to hard Italian cheeses. Its intense flavour and satisfying crunch have earned it numerous accolades, including multiple Great Taste Awards and recognition at the British and World Cheese Awards.
