Tunworth is akin to a Camembert,
It is a joy to eat, it is fabulous fare,
So says Raymond Blanc.

He says it’s far better than the French cheese,
It’s oozy, it’s unctuous, it’s sure to please,
That’s why it’s used in the Quatres Saisons.

Made by Stacey Hedges and Charlotte Spruce,
Many other cheesemakers should call a truce,
‘Cause this knocks most of them out of the park.

It’s rich and it’s nutty, made with Holstein milk,
The flavour is splendid, the texture like silk,
It should have its own special cheese marque.

In the early days they made just a bit of this cheese,
But Neal’s Yard Dairy soon became devotees,
And featured it on their cheeseboard.

They keep on trying to improve this cheese,
Even though it is just the bee’s knees,
And has won every great cheese award.

Anita recently baked one with garlic, sage and wine,
And it was a revelation, a “fondue” divine,
Into which to dunk your bread.

The other was baked with honey and thyme,
For a taste sensation that was truly sublime,
It’s a champion cheese, enough said!
