Ilchester light
Well a light cheese! I was not expecting much, but this actually packs a fair bit of cheddar flavour into a very small package. When this year is over and I start my diet, I may search it out again.

Day 335
Double Gloucester
Quite pleasant in a fairly bland sort of way. Better than Tesco’s version.
Day 334
Mexicana Light Hot
It is a bit like eating a very soft pepperami stick, plenty of chilli flavour, not much cheese.
Day 333
Eden Valley Brie
Gooey Brie from Appleby Creamery, starts to melt straight from the fridge. Good creamy flavour, not too strong great with sweet cherry tomato and Serrano ham.
Day 332
Kaltback Alpine Creamy
On first impression it looked a bit plasticky but It is creamy and very fruity. The more I eat the better it gets!
Day 331
Smoked French Brie
Good cheese made better by smoking, I need to ask Shills of Cockermouth where it is from.
Day 330
Smoked Stilton
Finally found some smoked Stilton to accompany Wee Beastie, lovely combo! Not sure where the Stilton is smoked, but it is very pleasant. The blue flavour is somewhat muted by the smokiness.Finally found some smoked Stilton to accompany Wee Beastie, lovely combo!

Smelly Ha-apeth
Blue cheese from the Saddleworth Cheese Company and my second cheese of the week with a celebrity connection, this one being made by Ex Corrie star Sean Wilson. The cheese was not too smelly, has a good blue character, with sweet nutty notes, goes well with a drop of Bowmore. Looking forward to trying other the cheese heese from Saddleworth.
Day 328
Blue Monday
Made by Alex James of Blur fame, unsurprisingly it is a blue cheese of very fine order, Alex might be new to the cheese making jungle but he is not following the herd, Well apart from getting the milk!
Day 327
Mrs Appleby Double Gloucester
Good strong mature cheese from Applebys in Cheshire.
