Chaource
French cheese from the Champagne-Ardennes region. Tangy lemon flavour, I liked the outer area better than the creamy centre.

Day 275
Appledore
Made by Singletons in Lancashire. Cheese with Apple and cinnamon. Tastes very Christmassy. Nice crumbly Lancashire cheese but quite sweet.
Day 274
Prima Donna Maturo
Like this, it is a Gouda from The Netherlands but made with parmigiano culture giving it a sweet taste,.. It is very hard but with a crystalline saltiness. I has it for lunch, tea, and maybe need to try it with some whisky now!
Day 273
Munster
Smells like a bit of a monster! Infact its is an hour since eating it and I can still smell it! It is a rind washed cows milk cheese from France. Pleasant mild flavour, but it does smell.
Day 272
Rachel
On first tasting I thought Rachel was a little sheepish, but she turns out to be a goat. Gentle in flavour, fairly hard with a sweet nutty taste. Paired it with an Islay malt, because I really wanted an islay malt! It was too much and Rachel was overwhelmed.
Day 271
Gorwydd Caerphilly
A different beast to what you might find in Tesco fro Caerphilly. This one is unpasteurised with a good strong flavour. Probably a bit more mature than at its best, but still a good cheese.
Day 270
Bath Blue
Buttery blue cheese, not too feisty, quite mild in fact.
Day 269
Etorki
Smooth sheep’s milk cheese from The French Basque Country. It has an almost smoked flavour, very pleasant.
Day 268
Forme d Ambert
Lovely subtle blue cheese from Auvergne region of France. Infact it is one of Frances oldest cheeses.. Buttery semi hard style made from cows milk. Best French blue so far.
Day 267
Dolce de Bourgogne
Super creamy cheese made with double cream cows milk. A bit like Vignotte but richer. Definitely one to have again.
