Day 24

Grandma Singletons Black pepper Cheddar

Time for my first mini cheese road trip. It was a bit grim out so was not planning to go far, after a bit of googling it soon became clear that West Cumbria is not well endowed with cheese makers or cheese shops for that matter!

I decided to head to Broughton in Furness and try Melville Tyson’s which is a great village butcher and grocery, but I wasn’t sure if it had a cheese counter.

I like Broughton, it has some lovely pubs including the great #Manor which always has large range of real ales and is a very traditional pub.

Back to the cheese and I was happy to find a well stocked fridge with a helpful young man willing to cut small slices for me to buy.

So I now have a weeks supply of new cheeses, in fact all completely un tried by me! This is where this whole idea starts to get interesting.

So what do I think of Grandma Singleton’s cracked pepper cheddar. At first it feels like the cheese is totally overwhelmed by the pepper, but then a little bit of creamy cheddar flavour comes through, followed by a lovely warm felling from the heat of the pepper. If you don’t like pepper you are not going to like this!
