Contact us for more details. We work very closely with Country Cheeses in Totnes to provide the best taste experience. Our Background-

Marie has always had a passion for food (in particular cheese). Working at what was Combe House near Honiton she took chatting about the Westcountry Cheeseboard to another level - to the point where all of her colleagues would always give her the cheeseboard to explain to the customers. She was obviously always at the cheese tastings that the amazing Country Cheeses provided to Combe House. From there she tried her luck and asked if there were any jobs going to Gary and Elise Jungheim (the owners of Country Cheeses). Unfortunately there weren't at that time but they had a chat with her anyway and that was that for the moment. Marie decided her passion did lie with cheese so she went on to work at the fantastic Sharpham vineyard and dairy in Totnes serving cheese and doing wine tastings. Gary and Elise contacted Marie a few months later and offered her the dream job! Cheese shop manager in Totnes! Of course she took it and loved working for Gary and Elise at Country Cheeses. She had the most incredible opportunities and they drove to the Westcountry dairies and chatted with all of the outstanding Cheesemakers who make the awesome cheese you will have on your cheeseboards today. In December 2015 Marie fell pregnant......

In March 2016 Elise joined the team at Country Cheeses in Totnes. Having never been a cheese connoisseur she was trained to within an inch of her life by Marie and slowly but surely also fell deeply in love with all kinds of different cheeses (well, who wouldn't?) As soon as Marie met Elise she knew they were going to be great friends and also that she was the perfect person to take over as manager at the Totnes shop (even though she had just started....) This was meant to be! Poor Elise was hijacked by Marie and asked if she would be interested in being manager as she was pregnant (weeks after just starting). In hindsight probably Marie should have waited a bit longer before scaring the life out of Elise BUT Elise was up for it. Elise and Marie both rallied hard to make Country Cheeses WIN 1st place as cheese shop of the year at the Great British Cheese Awards in October 2016 collecting the award together in London. These days you will still find Elise managing the Cheese shop in Totnes, with a smile on her face and ready to chat all things cheese with any customer that walks in. Elise and Marie are firm friends and still have that passion for cheese. They wanted to create the most special and fun cheese experiences for you to enjoy so the idea for Cheese Queens was born...........

🥳 🧀 We made a NEW CHEESE!! 🧀 🥳

We’re thrilled to introduce you to Rædwald! It’s the first new cheese we’ve ever made since creating Baron Bigod over 10 years ago. It’s been a year in development and we’re beyond excited for you to taste it!

It will be available in shops and on our website over the coming week so keep an eye out!

Rædwald (pronounced Redwold) is our Suffolk take on a traditional Reblochon. It has the crunchy, toothsome rind and smooth oozing paste of a classic Reblochon, but the flavours are a deeply Suffolk experience. This is a cheese to be eaten sat on a log by a campfire, in the dappled shade of a Suffolk woodland. It has flavours of roasted meats, fresh hazelnuts, hidden fungi, mossy bark, sea brine and cool woodiness.

Rædwald is a winter cheese and only available between the months of January to March. This cheese has been created to use the rich, high cream milk that our cows produce in the coldest months.

Why did we call it Rædwald? Glad you asked!

Rædwald was the Anglo Saxon king of the Eastern Angles (early Suffolk and Norfolk) between 599-624AD. His story is shrouded in mystery but archaeologists believe they have found his tomb at the hauntingly beautiful site of Sutton Hoo on the nearby Suffolk coast. Buried in a grassy mound in a field, a beautiful timber longship, weapons and jewels fit for a king, items gifted from far-flung lands and the remains of an ornate battle helmet.

The helmet has become the iconic symbol of King Rædwald and was our inspiration for the logo of our Rædwald cheese, drawn by artist Gemma Wiseman, who was the original creator of the much-loved cow on our Baron Bigod box.

We can’t wait to hear what you think of it, so if you taste it in the coming week please tag us or send us a message to let us know what you think!

P.s. We haven’t made very much so please bear with us if it’s a bit scarce to start with. We want to make sure Rædwald can walk before he runs!

Happy New Cheese day!

Love Jonny, Dulcie and the Fen Farm Dairy team. X 🧀🐄 😍
