The Cheesemonger’s Notes
A soft, Norfolk-made Brie-style cheese with a buttery, mellow centre
Copys Cloud is a soft, bloomy rind cheese made from pasteurised cow’s milk at Copys Green Farm in Norfolk by Mrs Temple’s. Similar in style to a Brie, it has a delicate white rind and a soft, creamy centre with fresh, milky flavours and a gentle mushroomy finish
Produced in Norfolk by Mrs Temple's →
Made on Copys Green Farm in Wighton, North Norfolk, Copys Cloud is a soft, bloomy-rind cheese that captures both the richness of the farm’s milk and the calm, open landscape that surrounds it. Produced by Catherine Temple using milk from her own herd of Brown Swiss, Holstein, and Montbéliarde cows, it reflects a closed-loop approach to cheesemaking where quality begins in the pasture.
Beneath its delicate white, bloomy rind lies a smooth, pale interior that evolves as it matures. When young, the texture is fresh and lightly firm with gentle lactic notes and clean dairy flavours. As it matures, the paste softens and becomes more yielding, developing a richer, creamier consistency with greater depth and complexity.
The flavour profile is refined and balanced. Notes of fresh cream and cultured butter lead, followed by subtle mushroom and earthy tones from the bloomy rind. With further maturation comes a deeper savoury richness and a lingering, rounded finish that never overwhelms. It is a cheese defined not by intensity, but by harmony.
Copys Cloud reflects the softer, more contemplative side of Norfolk cheesemaking. It rewards patience, evolving gracefully over time, and offers a true expression of milk, place, and careful craftsmanship.
Cut to order at The Norfolk Deli, every piece is prepared fresh from the wheel to ensure it reaches you in peak condition.
