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!
First Parmesan on the list, this one from The Asda is fine. Not massive on flavour, but sweet and perfect on Lesley’s Lasagne. Coupled with Christian Patat Appassimento a lovely evening.
Interesting, it is really creamy, not very mature, but very nice.
Soft and pleasantly Lancashire like but give me a hard lump of crumbly Bobs knobs any day!
I quite liked this, Sarah not so much!
French wash rind cheese from the Savoy region. Soft in nature creamy, a little bit like brie but with a bit more attitude to the rind. And being made with aw milk it has Extra depth too.
We have been on a cheese hunt today! Visited The Cheese Deli in Keswick and came away with a fortnights supply.
So today’s cheese from Sandhams Dairy near Preston is a really good creamy Lancashire. It is light in the mouth, fresh on the tongue and the flavour lasts ages, I keep going back for more!
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.
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.
