Lord of The Hundreds is a hard cheese made from raw milk from sheep.
It can be compared to a pecorino cheese. Or, because it is dry and crumbly, it can be compared to Parmesan, but with a smooth, mild taste.
The milk is curdled using vegetarian rennet. The cheeses are made in 4.3 to 5 kg (9 ½ to 11 pound) wheels, and aged 4 months.
The cheese is made by Cliff and Julie Dyball, of the Traditional Cheese Dairy Company at Stonegate, East Sussex.
History
Lord of The Hundreds cheese was created by James and Pat Aldridge of the Eastside Cheese Company, near Godstone, Surrey, England.
Language Notes
Lord of The Hundreds is named after the Hundreds Knoll, a mound where the Saxons would gather to pay their tithes and bring cases to magistrates. The mound was behind the house of the cheese’s inventor, in Aldridge, Walsall, West Midlands, UK.
