Old Winchester, or “Old Smales” as it was sometimes known as, is a mature version of Winchester cheese with a delicious and nutty taste. It is a much harder and dryer cheese with signs of crystallisation adding to the uniqueness of this wonderful cheese. Old Winchester is reminiscent of an old Dutch style gouda cheese with a distinctive nuttiness in flavour, however it is a product of evolution, need and much taste testing to create this delicious cheese.
