{"title":"Mrs Kirkham's","description":"\u003cp\u003eRuth Kirkham began making Lancashire cheese at Beesley Farm in Goosnargh in 1978, with her mother's recipe and equipment.

Ruth Kirkham began making it in 1978; her son Graham makes it now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ingredients are unpasteurised cow's milk, lactic starter cultures, animal rennet and salt. It is a two-day curd recipe with very little starter, which is what gives traditional Lancashire its character. The Kirkhams describe the result as creamy yellow in colour with a rich, buttery crumble, and they say they are now the only remaining producer of raw-milk Lancashire made by traditional methods. Expect a gentle lactic tang, a texture that breaks into soft curds rather than shards, and a cheese that gets deeper if you keep the truckle unopened and let it mature further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLancashire is the cheese for toasting and for crumbling. Melt it on toast under the grill, crumble it over a hotpot or into a leek and potato pie, or serve it plainly with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/millers-ale-crackers-100g\"\u003eMiller's Ale Crackers\u003c\/a\u003e and a spoon of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tracklements-perfect-ploughmans-pickle-jar\"\u003eTracklements Perfect Ploughman's Pickle\u003c\/a\u003e.
