What is Anster Cheese?

Anster is a hand-made cheese made using unpasteurized milk sourced from the Holstein Friesian cows. It is produced using traditional methods by Jane Stewart at St. Andrews Farmhouse Cheese Co. in Fife, Scotland, UK. This delicate, crumbly textured cheese with milky and fresh flavour is matured for 2 to 4 months. It boasts a mild yet complex flavour profile, featuring citrusy notes on the finish and earthy, almost mushroom-like undertones near the natural rind.

Red Anster is another variety of Anster which is flavoured with garlic and chives.
