Bonchester is a soft cow's milk cheese from Scotland, in the United Kingdom. It is made from the whole milk of Jersey cows, and that milk is not pasteurized. A white bloomy rind covers a yellow paste that turns softer as the cheese ripens. Young cheese tastes clean and milky, with a light buttery side. A ripe round can flow when it is cut, and the taste turns richer, with a gentle floral note.

The wheels are cylindrical, with a white coat and a smooth yellow paste. The taste is salty and tangy rather than sweet. It is a firm cheese, not a fresh ladle cheese and not a blue.
