Rollright was the first cheese David Jowett started producing, when he set up King Stone Dairy in 2015, following years of training in the UK, and the US.

The creamery takes milk from a single herd, delivered fresh each morning. The farm has a mixed herd of traditional British Friesian and Shorthorn's, producing high quality organic milk. They are grass-fed on pastures containing clover and leys, which gives the milk a beautiful rich, complex flavour, perfect to make cheese with. 

The cheese is washed in brine every two days, over three weeks, which gives it a delicate pinky-orange coloured rind, and a buttery, smooth, glossy and soft paste. It is aged for 4 to 8 weeks. 

There are notes of pine imparted by the spruce bark, which also holds its cascading paste. We find, it is at its ripest and runniest during the winter months.
