Five Brothers Smoked
Located just minutes from downtown Woodstock, Gunn's Hill Artisan Cheese is an award-winning fromagerie nestled within the rolling hills of Oxford County, Ontario. Oxford County proudly calls itself the dairy capital of Canada, with cheese being produced there on an industrial scale dating back more than a century. This is due to the area's rich local terroir, with its unique loamy soils, balanced amounts of rain, and contrasting hot and cold seasons all combining to create ideal conditions for farming to flourish.
Gunn's Hill is the result of years of dreaming and planning by owner, operator and cheesemaker Shep Ysselstein. Today, Gunn's Hill produces several different artisan cheeses inspired heavily by the techniques and recipes Shep learned while overseas.
Aged for one year on cedar planks, this softer version of shop favourite Five Brothers is naturally smoked with maple & apple woods leading to a rich flavour with sweet overtones and supple, creamy mouthfeel. Thanks to its edible rind, this cheese is the perfect topping for burgers or pasta - or enjoy it on your next cottage cheeseboard with a refreshing Pilsner beer.
