Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Baron Bigod: Britain Reimagines Brie (ft. Nick Bayne, Fine Cheese Co.)
Q: What makes Baron Bigod's rind and texture so distinctive compared to a traditional Brie?
The rind is formed with Geotrichum and sometimes penicillium candidum to create a wrinkled, slowly ripening surface that balances acidity and umami, resulting in a paste that remains cohesive and buttery without seizing or separating at the rind; the paste remains supple and nuanced, with garlicky, cabbage-like notes and a lingering finish.
Baron Bigod: Britain Reimagines Brie (ft. Nick Bayne, Fine Cheese Co.)
Q: Nick, why don't you enlighten us with what you have in your hand? Who makes it? What kinds of milk, you know?
Baron Bigod is made from Montbelliard cow's milk, originally raw but now pasteurized, and its creation evolved from a Brie-inspired concept rooted in meticulous farming, grazing, and seasonal milk quality—deliberately choosing milk quality and terroir to shape the cheese's character.
