The Fine Cheese Co. Bath Soft Cheese

This soft cheese from The Fine Cheese Co. represents a piece of British cheesemaking history. Graham Padfield crafts each batch at Kelston, Bath, following an original recipe dating back to the 1800s, using milk exclusively from the farm’s own herd. The result is a mild, creamy brie-style cheese with a delicate flavour profile that reflects both tradition and terroir.

What sets this cheese apart is its adherence to heritage methods in an era of industrial production. By controlling every step from animal husbandry through to the final wheel, Padfield maintains consistency and quality that mass-produced alternatives cannot match. The use of the farm’s own milk creates a direct connection between land, livestock, and finished product.

Serve at room temperature alongside fresh bread and quince paste, or pair with a crisp English cider to highlight its subtle, buttery notes.
