Bath Soft Cheese.
Bath Soft Cheese unfolds like a whisper on the palate—a cloud of buttery cream dotted with subtle mushroom notes that linger earthily on your tongue. Its delicate bloomy rind gives way to a texture so soft it nearly dissolves, while a whisper of tang keeps it from tipping into pure indulgence. The aroma is gently fungal and pastoral, more forest floor than funk.

The story
How it's made.
Why it tastes that way.
Bath Soft Cheese is made by Graham Padfield at Park Farm near Bath, Somerset.
The Padfield family claims to have found a 1796 recipe from Admiral Lord Nelson that described a soft cheese from Bath, which they used as inspiration when they started making it in the 1990s. It has won multiple awards at the British Cheese Awards.
