Ewe’s milk has the advantage of giving a higher yield when transformed into cheese. Although this was originally perhaps more of a commercial decision, the pair have fallen in love with the delicate and sweet ewes’ milk, and are now delighted to make cheese only from this milk. \u003cbr\u003eTim and Angela use a Halloumi recipe to make this cheese. Once the curd has been set, cut, moulded, pressed and turned, it is then added back to the whey which has already been boiled and skimmed (ricotta is formed as a by product of the skimming). The cheese is scalded in the hot whey until it rises to the surface, letting Tim know that it is ready. \u003cbr\u003eThis Somerset cheese is a truly hand-made product, and is a million miles away from the mass-produced Halloumi that are more readily available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Fine Cheese Co.","offers":[{"title":"160g","offer_id":52254680645896,"sku":"CESF011","price":7.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/1049\/8568\/files\/hellow-ewe_b__ma6fxarnntzfrnej.jpg?v=1755856151"},{"product_id":"hidcote","title":"Hidcote","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeneath its ivory, wrinkled cloak, Hidcote reveals a lactic core that matures into a silky, runny paste—rich, fatty, and deeply mouthcoating.
