Oxford Isis.
Oxford Isis greets you with the warm, sticky embrace of its mead-washed rind—earthy and honeyed, with a whisper of ancient brewery air. Beneath lies a supple, almost liquid center that tastes of clover honey and pastoral sweetness, with just enough savory funk to keep it grounded. This is comfort cheese: creamy and mild, yet seductive enough to linger.

The story
How it's made.
Why it tastes that way.
Oxford Isis is a washed-rind cheese made by the Oxford Cheese Company, named after the River Isis (the Thames as it flows through Oxford). Its distinctive character comes from being washed in traditional Oxford honey mead during affinage, imparting floral, honeyed notes to the sticky orange rind.
