Made from cow’s milk, Stinking Bishop is a British cheese that is perfectly suitable for vegetarians to enjoy. The creamy cheese has its rind washed in Perry, an alcoholic drink that gives off the pungent aroma and colour. The cheese has a strong flavour profile, but it works well with ice wine, port, or some crackers and biscuits.
