===A BRITISH ARTISAN CHEESE===
Baron Bigod is the finest traditional Brie-de-Meaux style [[cheese]] produced in the UK and one of only a handful of its type in the world to be made by the farmer on the farm. Beneath the nutty, mushroomy rind, Baron Bigod has a smooth, silky golden breakdown which will often ooze out over a delicate, fresh and citrussy centre. Baron Bigod is made by hand in small batches, very early in the morning so that we can use the fresh [[milk]] straight from the cow. The mould cultures are added to the warm morning’s [[milk]] and it is gently gravity fed into small vats just a few metres from the milking parlour, where the [[rennet]] is added. The curds are carefully hand-ladled into large moulds, using traditional pelle-a-brie ladles and the young cheeses are hand salted and then aged for up to 8 weeks in a cave-like environment. It is a unique expression of the incredible milk of our free-ranging Montbeliarde cows and the diversity of our wildlife-rich grazing marshland.

====Origin====
* The [[Milk|milk]] for this [[Cheese|cheese]] comes from free-range Montbeliarde cows grazed in wildlife-rich grazing marshland of the Waveney River Valley, minutes from the dairy at Fen Farm Dairy, Flixton Road, Bungay, Suffolk, NR35 1PD.
