Highland Fine Cheese - BLACK CROWDIE
£4.70
Packs 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.
