Lord London 500g

Created in honour of the London Olympics in 2012, Lord London is a semi soft cheese made with pasteurised cows milk and vegetarian rennet to deliver a clean, citrus taste that will linger on the tongue.

The cheese is the brain child of Arthur Alsop and Nick Walker, who began to make this wonderful and unusually shaped titular cheese in 2008 when Arthur Alsop discovered that his friend was giving up cheesemaking and returning to his homeland of South Africa. Seizing the opportunity, he purchased the business and started to create a unique style of world award winning cheese

Based in East Sussex, the milk used for making this exceptional cheese comes from farms nearby where it’s pasteurised before being made into Lord London Cheese. Arthur Alsop and Nick Walker also have stall on Borough Market where their cheeses can be purchased alongside their other cheeses made at the dairy.

This unusual looking cheese received a Bronze medal at the World Cheese awards in 2010. One of its distinctive properties is that the cheese can be eaten directly from the fridge and the whole cheese can be studded with herbs and baked in the oven to create a delicious sharing dish accompanied by crusty bread and crudités.

The cheese was also served at the wedding breakfast of Prince William and his wife Kate in 2011 in Buckingham Palace.
