Stinking Bishop (cheese)

Stinking Bishop is a washed-rind cheese produced since 1972 by Charles Martell and Son at Hunts Court Farm, Dymock, Gloucestershire, in the west of England.Charles Martell bought up many of the surviving cows, and began to produce cheese from their milk, not initially for its own sake, but to promote interest in the breed.To increase the moisture content and to encourage bacterial activity, salt is not added until the cheese is removed from its mould.[6] Chef Andrew Zimmern, host of the TV show Bizarre Foods (Travel Channel), in an episode about the U.K., samples Stinking Bishop cheese during a visit to the Borough Market in London.[citation needed] In the 2011 Channel 4 show King Of..., host Claudia Winkleman and her two guests Chris Evans and Sarah Millican adjudicate on contenders for the King of Cheese; Stinking Bishop was awarded the title by Winkleman and Evans (with Millican expressing dislike for cheese in general).
