Corra Linn
Description:
Corra Linn is a raw milk, cloth-bound cheddar-style cheese made from the milk of our ewes. The cheese has a firm, crumbly texture and a smooth, sweet, tangy flavour. The cloth-bound process gives Corra Linn its distinctive rind and imparts a natural, earthy flavour. The cheese matures over several months, developing adeep, nutty character with grassy notesthat reflect the environment in which the ewes are raised.
Corra Linn is named after a waterfall at New Lanark.
How it’s made:
Corra Linn is made using raw milk from our ewes, preserving all the natural flavours of the milk. The process begins by heating the milk and adding cultures, then the rennet to form the curds. After the curds are cut and scalded, the whey is drained and blocks of curd are piled high until the required acidity is reached. The curds are then milled and salted before being pressed into the cloth-lined moulds where they are pressed overnight. The following day they are wrapped in muslin cloth and placed on wooden shelves in the cheese store. This cloth maturation process allows the cheese to develop a natural rind, while the internal texture becomes firm and slightly crumbly. The cheese is aged in a cool, humid environment, allowing it to mature slowly, drawing out its nutty, sharp flavours. Corra Linn is made in small batches, ensuring that each wheel reflects the quality of the land and the ewes that produce the milk.
Tasting notes:
Texture: firm, crumbly
Palate: nutty, subtle sweetness, grass, earthy
Pairings + Accompaniments
Food: quince paste, proscuitto, olives, crackers or crusty bread, beetroot jam
Wine:
Sangiovese Chianti - the earthy flavour and tannins from the wine cling to the protein in the cheese enhancing the sour-cherry fruit flavour of the wine and richness of the cheese.
Monstable Chardonnay – the high acidity of the wine cuts through the fatiness of the cheese cleansing the palate.
Beer: IPA (Merlin’s or Stewarts IPA)
