Also known as Old Smales, Old Winchester is an older version of Winchester.
It has a much dryer harder and crystalline paste, becoming more reminiscent of an old gouda with a distinctive nuttiness in flavour, however, it is a product of evolution and need. Old Winchester is made with a vegetarian rennet and can be sold as a vegetarian replacement for a hard Italian cheese, and yet can still be used as a table cheese, it has that bit more versatility!
