Now being served in Michelin- starred restaurants Mijn Keuken in Wouw, \u00a0Joelia in Rotterdam, Tribecca in Heeze, and – <\/strong>Nastrium,<\/strong> in Helmond( no Michelin star but named in the Michelin guide as a new potential)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Fergusson and his wife Penny Nagle, who make Horsington\u2019s famous \u201cRenegade Monk\u201d cheese at Feltham\u2019s Farm down on the marsh, have scored international success by penetrating three top-end Michelin -starred restaurants in the Netherlands, plus one other Dutch restaurant named in the Guide as a potential star venue.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their  aroma-rich cheese is twaddling with personality and flavour. It has won numerous awards at international and national shows, including Best Food producer at the WDP Food and Farming Awards,  Gold in the Taste of the West Awards and Silver (twice) in the British Cheese Awards, all in 2019. Not bad, since they only started in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the technically minded, it\u2019s an organic, soft rind washed (in ale), blue cheese, made using locally sourced organic milk. For the non-technically minded it\u2019s a cheese for grown-ups to be enjoyed with an English white wine,  Sauternes, Barsac or Montbazillac, and can also be gently baked and used in imaginative recipes \u2013 see the renegade Monk website. https:\/\/www.felthamsfarm.com\/our-cheese\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no surprise that the Dutch have taken to it, as the cheese is inspired by continental soft cheeses such as Epoisse, and Marcus and Penny are delighted that their Somerset take on it has made it to the top table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locally, you may find it in Andrew Barclay\u2019s or the Charleton Horethorne Village Shop, plus markets in Frome and Bridport. Or you can call at the farm and ask if there\u2019s any for sale. 01963 370857<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Well done Marcus and Penny \u2013 Horsington\u2019s ambassadors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
