The cheese is made to the same recipe White Lake uses for its Rachel cheese to create a semi-soft cheese with a washed rind and sweet and nutty flavour, but uses ewe’s milk instead of goat’s.
Peter Humphries of White Lake Cheese said, “We called this cheese Sheep Rustler because the first batch was made by Russell, our head cheese maker. We are also making some other ewe’s milk cheeses, a soft white called Little She and an ashed one.”
