Baron Bigod is a one-of-a-kind British cheese. Made using cow's milk and inspired by traditional French Brie de Meaux, Baron is crafted by hand using traditional brie-making methods, including hand ladling with a pelle à brie. But the heart of its creation lies in Bungay, Suffolk. Born in 2013, this cheese has quickly captured the hearts of cheese lovers in the UK and beyond — not just for its incredible taste but for the inspiring story of resilience and renaissance behind it. I visited Fen Farm Dairy in Bungay, Suffolk, to see how Baron Bigod is made.
