Eleanor Marsh
Affineur & Cave-Master
Eleanor has been turning wheels in the same granite-walled cave since 1998. She works alone most mornings, before the milk arrives, brushing the rinds with lard and cloth in a rhythm she says she learned from the cave itself.
"The fourteen-month wheel is the one I wait for. Around month eleven you start to smell something change — a nuttiness that wasn't there before. That's when I know we're close."
