Hereford Hop is a firm cheese, that has a rind of toasted hops.[https://books.google.com/books?id=TmRuoa40mQgC&pg=PT349 Cheese Primer - Steven W. Jenkins]. p. 349. It has been produced since 1990 by Charles Martell, maker of Stinking Bishop. Since then, the cheese has been copied elsewhere by other producers. However, most of those tend to use minced and reformed cheddar, rolled in hop dust.{{cite web|url=http://www.charlesmartell.com/products/hereford-hop/|title=Hereford Hop|accessdate=24 May 2018|archive-date=24 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180524222302/http://www.charlesmartell.com/products/hereford-hop/|url-status=dead}}
