The King of England from 1199 to 1216, “Prince” John rightfully earned a less than friendly reputation. It’s not surprising that the fictional caricature of Prince John would share the negative traits of his namesake. Long story short, that’s why he got the stinky cheese.

Prince John is a Washed Rind Cheese. The color comes from 3 weeks of washing the cheese in a salt brine solution. This creates the perfect environment for this Cheese to form. Stinky, but smooth in texture it’s definitely a favorite among smelly cheese lovers!

Tasting Notes

Stinky, smooth, and meaty

Wine Pairing

Albariño Verde – Albariño

A dry, crisp white wine which pays homage to the popular green wine of Portugal: Vinho Verde. It is light-bodied with a bracing acidity, and a touch of natural effervescence gives it a clean and refreshing mouthfeel.
