Type: Semi
Milk: Raw cows milk
Rennet: Animal
Location: Northumberland , England
Doddington’s Hotspur Cheese is hot and fiery – just like its namesake.
Sir Henry Percy – the eldest son of the 1st Earl of Northumberland – nicknamed Harry Hotspur, was a Knight so fierce that it was thought that his spurs were on fire as he led his men into battle.
Hotspur is made from their own raw unpasteurised Doddington milk, based on a Dales style of cheese. It is matured for about 4-6 months, before being marinated in extra virgin olive oil and coated in cracked black pepper before being left to mature for a further month. The smooth textured cheese has a multi-layered complex taste that leaves a firey kick.
