Market manager Kardien Gerbrands talks about Swindon markets

We’ve got a bumper market at the outlet this Sunday with a fabulous variety of produce.

Adding to the regular stalls this week we have The Old Cheese Room from Corsham, who attended the market some time ago and are now going to be joining us on the second Sunday of every month. We already have the Glastonbury Dairy with a range of Cheddars and butter, but the cheeses from the Old Cheese Room are very different indeed, being handmade in small batches.

From her farming background in Hungary, Julianna started making cheese in Indiana, USA, in 2004 where she made 21 different varieties of goats cheese. Her fame led to a cheese being named after her.

Arriving in the UK in 2006 Julianna made her way to Somerset and continued working with goat’s cheese at Sleight Farm. In 2010 Julianna first came across the rich Jersey milk from Neston Park Home Farm and in May 2011 the cheese room at Neston Park was refurbished and The Old Cheese Room was established.

The Old Cheese Room produce four different cheeses; the Baronet, based on a “reblochon” (French cheese from the alps) recipe; Jersey Curd, Wasabi Pearl and Truffle Pearl.
