BLACK CROWDIE
Expiry date: 2024/12/01Packs a peppery punch
Dense, dry curd cheese (with reduced fat) rolled in cracked black pepper and springy oatmeal. Gritty and aromatic on the palate with a spicy kick, this little cheese (Gruth Dhu in Gaelic) packs a peppery punch on your oatcakes, hot buttered toast with eggs, or on top of a perfect fillet steak.
Believed to be first introduced by Vikings in the 5th century, the creamy taste of crowdie, handrolled in oatmeal, is enhanced by the spicy kick of black pepper.

Fresh, creamy, sour tasting and crumbly, Black Crowdie has been likened to cottage cheese but with added spiciness, due to the inclusion of peppercorns. The pepper can blow your socks off, it’s about as subtle as an earthquake. Try an IPA beer or oat stout
