Mrs Temple’s – Gurney Gold

A rich, buttery Norfolk cheese with golden character

Handcrafted by Mrs Temple’s Cheeses at Copys Green Farm in Wighton, Gurney Gold is a true Norfolk original — a semi-hard, washed-rind cheese made from creamy Guernsey cow’s milk. Its distinctive golden hue and supple texture come from regular brine washing during maturation, developing a mellow, buttery aroma and a depth of flavour that lingers beautifully on the palate.

Smooth yet complex, Gurney Gold sits somewhere between a mild Alpine cheese and a creamy farmhouse Cheddar, offering gentle savoury notes balanced by a hint of sweetness. It melts perfectly for toasties or gratins but truly shines on a cheeseboard, especially alongside crisp apples, chutney, and a glass of Norfolk cider or white wine.

Lovingly produced on a family farm using milk from pasture-fed cows, this award-winning cheese captures everything we love about Norfolk craftsmanship — honest ingredients, traditional methods, and flavour that shines as brightly as its name.
