Made by Fraser Norton & Rachel Yarrow

Little Wittenham, Oxfordshire

Wittenham is named after the cheesemakers' herd and the fact that they’re close to a pair of wooded chalk hills whose peaks are called the Wittenham Clumps.

Since 2016, Fraser Norton and Rachel Yarrow have been making their exceptional French-inspired goat's cheeses at the Earth Trust Farm in South Oxfordshire, a project run by an environmental charity that provides tenancies for new food businesses with a focus on sustainable land management. The milk used by Fraser and Rachel for Brightwell Ash and its aged counterpart Wittenham now comes entirely from their own herd of goats. Wittenham has a wrinkly ash-coated rind which has developed a layer of mould, offering depth of character and seasonal variations.

Wittenham was born out of our desire to introduce an aged cheese to our goat's milk selection. After a few rounds of experimentation, we decided that Brightwell Ash was the best candidate. Brightwell Ash arrives with us when just a week or two old. Upon arrival, we dry the cheese as we would a Brightwell Ash but do so for longer. We then mature it at cold temperatures until we are happy with the flavour that has developed.
