Gabriel Blue
Certainly blue, quite granular and rather pungent, gets up your nose if you no what I mean! Outside my comfort zone without whisky.

Day 325
Montagnolo
I was tempted to eat the whole block, it has been out of the fridge for a while and is so soft and creamy with a subtle blue hint. Made in Germany from triple cream it is similar to Cambozola but creamier. Lovely. Especially with a glass of port.
Day 324
Nibble Nose Mature cheddar
Showing a nice punchy maturity but lacking the crystalline nature of well aged cheddar, still made a really good sandwich. Getting short of cheese now, I hope some arrives soon!
Day 323
Butlers Farmhouse Blue
Quite soft in a good way, pleasantly blue, in fact it is really quite good, but I did forget it was a wine glass I was pouring the port into!
Day 322
Scamorza
Smoked Mozzarella it was ok, but not great, I think if you are going so smoke cheese then you should start with something tasty.
Day 321
Asda Iberico
Lovely bit of cheese from Spain. Mix of sheep, cow and goats milk, first time for all 3 in one cheese for me I think.
Day 320
Edam
Edam from Asda, Not had this for about 20 years. I was expecting something plasticy with little taste, but that would be harsh, it has a nice almost fruity flavour and has a nice bit of texture. For the full experience Emma made a Richmond sausage buttie for tea!
Day 319
Seriously spreadable Smokey
I am running low on new cheeses. I suppose this is ok for emergencies, it has been at the back of the fridge for a couple of months. There is a very slight hint of smoke. And it is spreadable.
Day 318
Stratford Blue
My last cheese direct from Butlers. This is quite mild, not bad but have had plenty better.
Day 317
Sunday Best Farmhouse Lancashire
Aged for 18 months this has a serious tang, quite crystalline, big on flavour, especially for a commercially packaged cheese this is very good, could make my top 20.
