Sussex Slipcote
Sussex Slipcote[edit | edit source]
Sussex Slipcote is a traditional English cheese that originates from the county of Sussex in South East England. It is a fresh, soft cheese made from ewe's milk, and is one of the oldest known British cheeses.
History[edit | edit source]
Sussex Slipcote has a long history dating back to the 18th century. It was traditionally made by small-scale farmers in the Sussex region using the milk from their own flocks of sheep. The cheese was originally made as a by-product of wool production, with the milk being used to make cheese once the lambs had been weaned.
Production[edit | edit source]
The production of Sussex Slipcote involves a process of gentle heating and curdling of the ewe's milk. The curds are then drained and lightly pressed to remove the whey, before being moulded into small, round cheeses. The cheese is typically matured for a short period of time, usually around one week, which gives it a light, creamy texture and a delicate, slightly tangy flavour.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Sussex Slipcote is a soft, white cheese with a crumbly texture. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavour with a hint of tanginess. The cheese is typically sold in small, round discs weighing around 100g. It is often served as part of a cheese board, or used in cooking, where it melts well and adds a creamy, rich flavour to dishes.
Varieties[edit | edit source]
There are several varieties of Sussex Slipcote available, including plain, garlic and herb, and peppercorn. The garlic and herb variety is flavoured with a blend of garlic and mixed herbs, while the peppercorn variety is studded with whole black peppercorns, giving it a spicy kick.
