Tome de berry
Well it was berry coloured! Quite strong taste, just not sure what of, no berry flavour apparent. Not a winner!

Day 37
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.
Day 36
Cheddar with caramelised onion
Day 35
Philadelphia with Jalapenos
As something with jalapeños in the title this is pretty tame! Went nicely in a pasta dish for tea with some smoked salmon.
Day 34
Double Gloucester with chive and onion
Made by Truckle Bros and found in Morrisons. Comes in a nice wax coat and is very good flavoured cheese with chewy bits of onion, chewy in a good way! I have gone back for seconds!
Day 33
Black pepper Castello
The last of the little Castellos, pleasant little number, not as peppery as the last pepper cheese, but nice and creamy. Went well with a small Highland Park.
Day 32
Cheddar with Charcoal
I was intrigued by the idea of this cheese, wondering what the charcoal would add. So first off it is a bit tangy, then it is a bit sweaty, and finishes with a grittyness.
This is not going to win Feb cheese of the month, in fact I am not going to eat it again.
It is great to have completed one month of cheese and I have been asked if I have a favourite so far, so I am going to try and pick one each month. January cheese of the month was #thornbymoor Crofton, absolutely lovely sheep’s milk cheese, from Cumbria.
Day 31
Eden Sunset
Lunch at the pub today, Eden Sunset is similar to a mild cheddar, it is a bit greasy when at room temp. Not my fav Cumbrian cheese.
Day 30
Singletons Parlick Fell sheep’s cheese
Fairly hard smooth cheese with a slightly granular texture. A light grassy tang, leaves a rather nice fresh mouth feel. I like this , quite a lot. Gets a smiley sheep’s face from me.
Day 29
Suffolk Gold
Crumbly cheese, similar to Lancashire but with a hint of aging. Made it into a cheese and onion pie with Katsu sauce as a base for the onions.
