It features a striking line of wood ash running horizontally through the centre, making it instantly recognisable on any cheeseboard. Conceived over Easter lunch in 2020, Ashcombe was born out of lockdown necessity: with no market for Manor Farm’s milk, cheesemaker David Jowett turned it into a larger, longer-aged cheese. Since then, Ashcombe has become a \u003cb\u003estalwart of the modern British cheese board\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNamed both for the ash at its centre and the “Coombes” — steep-sided valleys dotting the Cotswold landscape — Ashcombe is made at \u003cb\u003eKing Stone Dairy, Manor Farm, Chedworth, Gloucestershire, England\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlavour Profile\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGentle, milky and moreish\u003c\/b\u003e, with a richness that builds over each bite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSubtle notes of \u003cb\u003ewhite meat and lactic freshness\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDelicate \u003cb\u003ehazelnut-skin bitterness\u003c\/b\u003e balancing the creamy body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSemi-firm, \u003cb\u003epliant and chewy texture\u003c\/b\u003e that enhances the release of complex aromas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe rind is \u003cb\u003emeaty and savoury\u003c\/b\u003e, while the paste carries aromas of \u003cb\u003ewarm milk and hay\u003c\/b\u003e.
