Joe Crow is a mild, creamy cow’s milk cheese that is perfect for melting and sure to please the whole family. Joe Crow is a semi-hard cheese with a supple and springy texture, an earthy smell and an umami flavour that lingers long after the cheese has been devoured.
Joe Crow is crafted using a slow fermentation method. The curd is heated during the cheese-making, but not pressed afterwards. This ensures the cheese retains moisture which influences its texture. The cheese rind is carefully washed every day for the first week and then washed twice a week until ready.
