366 Days of Cheese
I am not going to lie, I did not like this cheese, it did not look appealing with its orangey pink mould on the outside, and the flavour was just too pungent for me. Each to their own, it will soon be a new day and time for another cheese.
Goats cheese from Norton on the Yarrow. It is easy to get the wrong end of the stick when tasting cheese. This one tasted very feisty at first but it was mainly the rind on the outside that was causing this, once I got to the cheese properly in the middle it was quite mild in a goaty sort of way. Pleasant and fruity with a creamy texture ideal to spread on biscuits.
Made by Andy Ridley in North Yorkshire. This is not your average Wensleydale, it has a rind for a start, a lemony tang, soft and creamy then the distinct Wensleydale flavours come through. It is really good.
Beenleigh blue
Lovely sheep’s milk cheese with a blue vein running through it, quite crystalline in places but a very tasty cheese nonetheless. it stood up really well on pizza you could taste the cheese even though I had some jalapeños on the pizza too.
A simple sandwich, with an uncomplicated cheese, nice balance of flavour between the fairly mild cheese and the gentle smokiness of the paprika.
Lovely Brie, smooth , creamy, delicate. The raw milk gives a nice farmy fruity note. Really good.
Pretty peppery! I like the Beckfoot cheese from Mawbray, it takes on other flavours well. To be critical it is a bit overwhelmed by the pepper, but I like pepper.
Raw cows milk cheese from Michael and Mary Davenport of Market Rasen. Nice blue Brie type cheese, creamy with a nice blue vein. Rind is a bit pungent giving an edge to this cheese.
Unpasteurised cows milk washed rinsed cheese from the Cotswolds. The first of my cheese selection from @the courtyarddairy.
The cheese is soft and squidgy almost melting in the fridge. Rich creamy flavour, summer meadows, slight acidity balancing the richness. A great cheese to start the month and finish the first 1/3 of my journey. Well done @davidjjowett
Edderside melt
Mozzarella type cheese from Mawbray dairy. Grated easily for our pizzas.
