Snowdonia Black Bomber Mature Cheddar
First Welsh cheese of the campaign and it is the best cheddar yet, just had some more, it really is good, creamy, tangy, lovely. Perfect with a pint of Goodhews dry stout from #Barngates

Day 45
Bowland Lancashire with Apple and raisin
Tasty cheese, raisins and a hint of spice. I am looking forward to trying Bowland Lancashire with no added bits, I think it will be great.
Day 44
Red Hot Dutch
Another great cheese from the Truckle Bros label, this time it is a Gouda with pickled jalapeños and extra dry chilli flakes, making this cheese the hottest I have tried so far.
Day 43
Blacksticks Blue
Tasty, in a mildly blue sort of way. Quite salty, I would suggest white port and grapes with this cheese!
Day42
Cheddar and sweet fire chilli
A bit bland really, but did make a nice topping for the pork chops.
Day 41
Roquefort
Who says you don’t find happiness at the bottom of a glass! This cheese was quite feisty, paired really well with Ardbeg 10 year old. The strong pungent tang of this blue cheese and the deep smoky whisky was a great match.
Day 40
Goats cheese with figs
Last of the cheese brought back from France, and seems I have saved the best till last. This cheese was lovely and creamy with a subtle goats milk flavour, quite sweet, with mashed figs in the middle, best yet this month.
Day 39
Tome aux poivre
Nice flexible cheese from France, not got a makers name unfortunately. Quite peppery in a nice way.
Day 38
Tome de berry
Well it was berry coloured! Quite strong taste, just not sure what of, no berry flavour apparent. Not a winner!
Day 37
Nettle Cheese Tomme aux Orties
First of a selection of cheeses kindly brought back from France by Penelope, my first ever tasting of nettle cheese. It was a little like an edam , but more flavour maybe sheep’s milk? The nettle did not add a great deal, just bits to get stuck in your teeth! Tomme usually refers to a cheese made from skimmed milk so it is lower in fat than some cheese.
