Cumberland Farmhouse
Tasty mature cheese with hard rind. Good crystalline structure, farmhousey flavour, tangy on the tongue.

Day 94
Irish Porter
So homemade Irish Porter cheese, made with Cumbrian milk and Cumbrian beer, Goodhews Dry Stout from Barngates to be precise. This tasted much better 3 days after it was made. Still not something I am likely to repeat though!
Day 93
Thornby Moor Allerdale
Mature English goats cheese. Quite tangy at first, almost Parmesan like, then mellowing to a warm finish, this is good cheese.
Day 92
Blue Whinnow
Thornby Moor Dairy have sent me a cheese care package, so I can have a break from randomly flavoured cream cheese and mozzarella type efforts of my own making. So tonight’s cheese is a full flavoured blue, which starts off a bit stiltony but develops a lovely creamy tang and melts in the mouth
Day 91
Tequila and lime cream cheese
Made today’s cheese into a tequila lime and strawberry cheesecake, with chocolate digestive base, going to be good.
Day 90
Cream cheese with Laphroaig
What’s not to like, lovely homemade cheese with a hint of Laphroaig, delicious!
Day 89
Crystalline honey cream cheese
Went nicely on a digestive biscuit.
Day 88
Eskdale wrapped in wild garlic
More of my homemade mistake. The wild garlic imparted a pleasant garlic note to the fairly bland cheese.
Day 87
Eskdale Tandoori
Homemade pressed cheese coated in tandoori spices. The creamy texture went nicely with the spices. Great on fresh apricot, cumin and goats cheese granary bread.
Day 86
Eskdale Sage
So my cheese mistake is coming in useful, isolated as we are by the virus and distance to civilisation. New cheeses are a scarce commodity. I did not add too much sage as it can be overwhelming. I think some more salt would have been better.
