St Cera
£7.95
Small in nature but not in taste, St Cera is a compact raw cow's milk cheese that is rich in flavour as well as smell. It is gloriously savoury and has a runny, melting, spoonable texture covered in a pungent washed blush rind. With age, this cheese will develop into a firmer texture with warmer, earthy flavours with a nutty undertone.
Sister to the St Jude cheese, both these rich cheeses are a perfect addition to any cheese board. As the washed rind version of St Jude, St Cera is washed regularly in a brine solution, leading the rind to become a pinkish orange. It’s distinctive smell, intriguing rind and complex taste all add to an unforgettable cheese-eating experience to relish.

Cheese Care
It is necessary to apply a common sense approach to cheese care and respond to the cheese you have in front of you, as opposed to following rigid guidelines.
The best option is to keep the cheese wrapped in its waxed paper within a box in the fridge. The container will help to prevent the cheese from drying out and prevent the cheese from absorbing flavours.

QualityAbout
St Jude & St. Cera is made by Julie Cheyney in Suffolk, from the milk of the same Montbeliarde herd that provides the milk for Jonny Crickmore's Baron Bigod and Raw Cultured Butter. Julie first started making cheese in 2005, when she and Stacey Hedges created Tunworth Camembert.
In 2012, Julie set up her own dairy in Hampshire where she began to make St Jude. However, the quality of milk was constantly a concern of hers. In the pursuit of the best milk that she could find, Julie found the Crickmore's and their farm after hearing about them on the radio. Their Montbéliarde cows are still a rarity in the UK and produces richer milk than the typical British herd. Taking the risk and making the jump, she brought her business and life to Suffolk.
The delicate process of creating the cheese begins very early in the morning where the milk is used still warm from the first cows into the dairy parlour. Every single step of the cheese's production is performed by hand in very small batches in order to preserve the sanctity and unique nature of each individual cheese. All of Julie's cheeses are a true labour of love and this is clear to see in the elegant flavours and exquisite textures present.
