Stinking Bishop Is The Smelliest Cheese In The UK | Regional Eats

- Crowned the smelliest cheese in the UK, Stinking Bishop gets its distinctive smell thanks to perry, a pear cider, which is used to wash the rind of the cheese. The result? A moldy exterior, a creamy texture, and an everlasting pungent smell. We visited Charles Martell & Son in Dymock, Gloucestershire, the only farm in the world that makes this cheese, to find out what makes it (and the perry it bathes in) so unique.

he could be a storyteller
Thank you. I am him
When Claudia hosts, we are seeing the finest in culinary travel guides. Her charm and lack of pretension, I think, allows us more visas into the the world and hearts of native specialties than we otherwise would. I hope these little jaunts are just a warmup to longer, more extensive stories and travel. Best wishes if you’re watching, Claudia.
"native specialities" there are no natives in Europe
@@kingofracism explain..
@@kingofracism native means the ones who originally lived there. Europeans are native to Europe. They aren't native in Africa, America, Asia or the Middle East. But in Europe they are native.

As someone who raises cows, i think that's awesome what he did what the breed. Saving it and using it for something. Also that little clip at the very end of him petting the cow as it walks by.. I do he same thing with our cows. I'm in their pen putting hay down and cleaning, I'd prefer they be gentle creatures, and they get that by that nice relaxing tone, and just talking to them when your around them. Be gentle and slow with your movements until they get to know you and you should end up with some nice friendly critters.
I have a friend in Australia and his relationship with his cows is amazing. They always come to the fence to greet him when he approaches.
Me too. Love animals ❤️
What a wonderful story!

I particularly liked this episode. For some reason everyone felt natural and just chilled. I think for the most part, since it's not a big factory or big production site, it feels more family like.
"For some reason everyone felt natural and just chilled." It's the west country. Time meanders slowly 'ere.

“That’s the way they’ll survive: if we use them”
Damn straight. Plenty of heritage breeds and varietals have fantastic properties other than surviving a shipping container. Buy local. Grow local. Support local
100 percent.
Thus inter-regional trade should consist, as largely as possible, of the replication of abilities that pre-exist elsewhere within any previously minimally used areas. This will remove the dangerous surplus of fertilizer from the air we breath.
The greatest survival traits that a species can have is to be tasty, useful, or cute. These are the animals that dominate the world in terms of numbers. If PETA has their way, and people stop using animal products, these domestic species will quickly go extinct.
which is why if everyone turns vegan, many dometicated will go extict. which is..... counter productive
@@wynniew6330: Not really because if everyone was vegan, then we wouldn't deliberately produce milk cows and chase these scarce breeds to extinction. The same applies to honey bees, domestic chickens, domestic pigs, salmon and other animals who are intentionally bred and harvested on the cost of local species disappearing.
Though to solve this problem, it is not necessarily to turn the entire world vegan but to just reduce the meat, egg and dairy consumption to a few hundred grammes per week and purchase from local farmers instead of massive industries where the animals are suffering under terrible conditions and being force-fed with antibiotics. Purchasing cheese from a niche farmer like this in moderate quantities is much more sustainable than packages of cheap cow milk cheese from the supermarket.
It may be stinky but that's some beautiful looking cheese, I really want to try it.
@uhfkjh6w,jb all cheese in France is fake processed gmo unhealthy and unnatural one of the most unhealthy countries in the world and don’t get me started on their bread...the bread in France is a joke I’m surprised it can even be called bread

The way he pets his cows makes me happy as a dairy farmer myself
Happy to see that we French people are not the only ones to shamelessly love stinky cheeses - and the fact is that most of the time stinky doesn’t mean strong once in your mouth, but surprisingly soft and tasty at the same time... I’m pretty sure this one here tastes as good as it looks !
Us Mexicans have Queso Fresco that we absolutely love that can smell pretty bad. Hahah. So I get what you mean.
Same with the Asian stinky tofu..

First time I saw and tasted Stinking Bishop it was under a glass dome at cheese shop. The need for the dome was confirmed upon lifting. It tastes rich and satisfying. Hard to find but worth the hunt.
Is it like gruyere or port salut??
@@jesseabrams5054 no it's a washed rind so much more gooey great for dipping stuff in and spreading.
@@123Andersonev
Does it taste like port salutė
@@jesseabrams5054 nah more gooey, sticky and pungent, maybe a similar citric note but pear is less acidic than orange, it's a really nice cheese, that's usually true of smelly cheeses because it's the rind that stinks not what's behind it which is the good stuff if you can get your nose over it, it's great especially on a water table biscuit like carrs.
6:46 & 8:48 The cows seem to have a peaceful life and love their owner. When they play with their owner, they look adorable like cats
Dont tell Peta
@@fizzbrew cos peta think its better for them to come kill the cow
I have a strong desire to sample this cheese, all while that man explains the history of their cows and the distillery. That would be the holiday. Then he would swaddle me and say "Now shut you eyes and sleep, for tomorrow we shall do it all again."

This is really solid reporting, actually, concise and descriptive language. Impressive diction for a non-native speaker
The best thing about this cheese was the those cows were saved from extinction.
That old man should make an esthetic audible audio about cheese lol. I would listen to it.
He could read a dictionary and I'd be down for it lol XD
Such a nice voice
It was just so lovely and natural when the farmer asked Claudia how to say “Cheers” in Italian at 8:28.
Charles the owner has a very calming voice.
What a brilliant man. Reminds me of my father. He retired and had nothing to do. So he decided to help the bees. He knew nothing about them but he read books and learned along the way. now he has 20 hives and harvests the honey every year.
It's amazing you get so many different cheeses from a process that's got very little variance across the globe.
Perry cidre and washed rind cheese is a match made in heaven!!!
Respect to the grandpa. Aside of his peaceful voice, he is smart.
Love that he wanted to save some cows from dying out through cheeze. What a wonderful way to do it.
Bad smell or not, it looks so freaking delicious. I wanna try!
One of my favorite episodes ever. It almost has meditative vibe to it.
"you caressing the cheese and enjoy the work.." oh Claudia.. 😂
I'm a direct decendant of Frederick Bishop (my Grandmother was a Bishop) who's name is given to this cheese. My parents found his grave recently, and dragged the moss off it. The crazy thing is that I actually came to this video unrelated by following Claudia's channel (because she is amazing) and not by searching for 'Stinking Bishop cheese'. It just highlights how few degrees of seperation we have between each other. We either all think alike here, or we're all alcholics like the perry drinking 'Stinker' himself (I certainly am). Either way, lets look after (and feed) one another.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this with us. And i totally agree with your message. 😊
The name Bishop is coming from the stinking bishop pear. The name of the farmer who cultivated these pears is Bishop.
She is such an amazing journalist, and paired with the cameraman’s skills, I feel like I’m right there, in relaxed and inquisitive company. At first, I wouldn’t dare try most of the cheeses in this series but I’ve been enjoying this series so much that I just might!
One of the worst "journalists" I've ever seen.
What a beautiful inspiring piece this was. From making the cheese, to the history, to the treatment of the cows, and everything about it it was wonderful. I wish them all the success in the world. And I will get some of this cheese, never having eaten it before. It looks very tasty
The smell and if you get it on your hands/skin is pretty vile. The cheese though tastes fantastic. Just make sure you have a proper air tight container for storing in your fridge - or everything will take on the smell!!
I like to store it at the store .
I use this cheese as lube
@@Noah-pk7tf 😳
You can use charcoal to make your fridge smell free because it sucks out smells

I bought a gourmet cheese box that included stinking bishop. It was delivered while I was at work and the box left in my porch. As soon as I opened the outer door I knew it had arrived.
I like how happy the cows were!!
7:17 LMAO when she said the cheese has no smell at all, every cheesemaker will flip on her comment
I love this series but this episode for some reason feels so peaceful and charming. The countryside, animals and the people who proudly makes the best products possible harmonize wonderfully with Claudias wonderful curiosity and storytelling.
very interesting architecture. i approve. it's like vertical framing for and containing concrete slabs via thick lumber. Beautiful. 7:55
it looks like it’s half-timbered, either with the original wattle and daub panels or replacements in the same style. if it’s still the original walls, it’ll be a lattice of woven sticks covered over with dried dung and mud, which was the original construction technique for half-timbered houses!
it seems to be very durable and extremely cheap especially during today's insane lumber price hikes. This inspired me. Thanks, Rose CJ.
No, no, no. Can't use concrete like that. It makes the wood deteriorate.
Claudia is very respectful. Nice to see this!
I live in a town that farms tons of peaches, and man let me tell you when those peaches start to rot the whole town smells horrific 🤢 I can only imagine how this cheese must smell
Where is that exactly
I don't think I've ever smelled rotten peach... interesting
But these are pears, not peaches.
I live in palisade Colorado and can confirm. The worst are apricot trees outside your house. You have to dispose of the old fruit before it starts to rot

@blv nope

Love that man who preservs the history. Congrats sir.
I love what he said about saving the breed! You gotta use it to save it. So many animal activists dont realise that if we dont use the animals they will go extinct. Like horses for example, there are so little of them left compared to just 70 years ago. Yet, whenever they are being used by us there is always someone clueless and angry.
That is a very narrowed point of view, the existence of animals shouldn't depend on whether or not human use them as resources. Most of the time animals extinct because human use too much of them or their environment, leaving no room for natural development because everything is dead. Thats what the animal activist are angry about, and they are rightfully so
@@haylemiu9540 cows would not survive anywhere in the wild, even some vegans admit it. Pigs, horses, etc would do fine and thrive without farms I believe. But cows would get fucked in most situations now. They're extremely over-bred for hamburgers and shit and cow farming is a big cause for deforestation, also cow farts are bad for the environment. Of course vegans would agree that forests shouldn't be destroyed to breed animals to kill for food. But cows don't really have a lot going for them in terms of evolution.
This is all off the top of my head feel free to correct shit
@@kylerayner7738 Cows we use now used to be wild once and its the breeding and hunting that made them extinct. Farming cow are just descendants, bred to produce for generations, thats why they’re still here, further proving my point that humans damage natural development, no vegans needed to convince anyone of the fact that cattle cows arent fit for the wild.
The comment i replied to, imo, has such a god-playing, self-centered, completely egotistic and “human” view, like “cows and horses should be grateful that we keep them around”. My point is that we need to realize we are not saving any animals by using them, we are just using them, they exist because of us and thats shouldn’t make us saints, its not a good thing. I dont believe in repopulating every dying domesticated breed of animals by using their resources like in the video but good for them ,honestly.
Also from what i know, animals activists mostly protest the poor conditions/treatments we subject animals to and other unnecessary cruelty like the production fur and skin fashion garments bla bla bla, opposing to these causes says a lot about a person
@@haylemiu9540 yeah I see what you mean then. Like chickens did not use to be as stacked as they are now. I don't like how we meddle with things.
@@haylemiu9540 domesticated ones will not survive in the wild.
As men grow old...their voice grow GOLD.

Had that previously at my old work place
. Taastes ok while still cold. Once its reaches room temp. The smell really hits u.
Pear cider sounds lovely. Does it taste good on its own? High sugar sounds promising. The pear spirit with fresh pear juice sounds really good.
I'm glad that despite being stinky, the smell is from cider rather than bizarre strains of bacteria from...feet or some other rank shit.
On its own, perry is quite nice
There's no such thing as pear cider. Cider is only made from apples.
@@jonathanfinan722 did I mistakenly used a term different from that in the video? (Can't re- watch at the moment).
@@jonathanfinan722 The world apple historically was actually used for all fruits except for berries. So a pear would have been an apple and therefore been made into pear cider. These days any fermented fruit juice is called cider, because it's not wine and there isn't any other word we can use. Perry and pear cider are two different things, it can only be called perry if it's made from perry pears.
@@PrettyH8Mach1n3 You aren't mistaken, although this is perry, it is perfectly acceptable to call fermented pear juice pear cider, Jonathan is being pedantic.
Mmmm pear cider and creamy cheese, yum
That texture makes me want to try this cheese. It looks almost like gelatin 🤔 very curious
It looks delicious btw
I'd love to try some of this cheese.
When I was growing up Limburger cheese was considered by us kids as something we never wanted to try, because of the reputation of how stinky it was.
A while back, I decided to try some. It did have a noticeable odor, but it really wasn't that bad. The flavor, however, was wonderful! It was sweet and had virtually no bad odor.
I'd guess that Stinking Bishop would be similar.
The old man has an excellent voice for audio books. Smooth like butter.
Saving cows by raising them to use their milk for making cheese? Vegans don't believe that for sure :) Using perfect ingredients and techniques for making a good quality cheese is just priceless. Thanks for the good video.
Don't wanna jinx it, but.
While obviously, not every vegan is like that, there's always that one vegan who explains that milking the cows actually makes them extremely depressed and suicidal.
Or something like that. Anyways, just remember the comment section does not carry trustworthy information, no matter what the topic might be.
@@nodezsh Of course all vegans are not like that. I tried to say that as a joke but putting a smile end of the sentence. As long as people responsible/caring/respectful & not judgemental to others etc. in general don't matter what they think, believe, eat and follow. Simple as that for me.
why do animals make milk? For babies, yes? I shouldn't have to explain any more than that.
@@stinkyjoe4720 Yes, you're good. Thanks.
@@stinkyjoe4720 Why do they continue to make milk after their babies are grown up? To make cheese.

All you need now is to add some Durian bits to finish it off
Get a smoked kipper on there to finish the dish.

I Don't understand why people said durian smell bad
Does durian taste good with cheese? I never thought of anything but a hard cheese being good with fruit and veggies, like parmesan(or any hard cheese) on buttered/mayoed corn.
@@MALAY_TENGU are you joking? Durian fruit isn’t even allowed on commercial flights, it smells so bad.
