SKINNY CROWDIE
Expiry date: 2024/11/16From bathtub beginnings to culinary delight
Crowdie is the cheese that started the Dairy from the family bathtub. Thought to have Viking origins and an evolution of production through ladies’ stockings and pillowcases, it has graduated to hang in muslin and plastic sacks.
The most traditional of Scottish artisan cheeses. A lactic curd with reduced fat in order to make butter with the separated cream. At it’s most tasty when just “cooked”, a wonderful cheese to experiment with; try fruit, wild garlic leafe, mixed dried herbs also smoked mackerel for a pate. Pair with a fruity white or a viognier.

- Soft
- Crumbly
Light and creamy with a faint hint of lemon and soft curd texture. A versatile, culinary gem – delicious on an oatcake, a pancake, or hot scones with jam, fabulous in pate, savoury and sweet cheesecakes and on its own with fruit and honey.
