I like most cheeses preferably not wrapped in plastic but cheese that has been allowed to breathe and mature naturally.
Shudders - that is a dreadful way to kill a cheese, Meg, I agree with you on that one.

Cheese should be lovingly swaddled in cheese cloth and wrapped in waxed paper. Never cling film or, even worse, tin foil. It is a living organism and needs to breathe.

Did you spot the amazing "Archimedes screw" water wheel down the road?

For those of you who don't know what we are on about, it's this.





In the Wensleydale sampling room.

Re: Anything and everything Cheese.

I also love goats cheese, strong Cheddar, White Stilton, Sage Derby and Red Windsor. The vintage Red Leicester is good as well. I always buy my cheeses from a proper cheese shop - never a supermarket. Cannot stand their 'processed cheeses' - not even for cooking.

Cheese in my house has to be either English, Irish, Welsh or Italian.

I loathe the french slime that is brie or camembert.

I met a lady in a local farm shop whose husband works as a cheese turner in Cheddar Caves.
Now that's how cheese should be treated.

Kept in caves?

I would agree, Fruitcake, but caves are in short supply just now. I blame brexit!

Yes, you can see them on racks as you tour the cave system. They are a constant temperature all year round so no artificial variants needed for storage.

Cheddar caves aitn't short, and there are many others round here as well.

''Blacksticks Blue is a farmhouse soft blue veined cheese made from pasteurised milk of the Butlers family herd of pedigree cows. ... The cheese is aged for about eight weeks during which it develops a distinctive amber hue along with a delicious creamy smooth yet tangy taste.''

Personally, i don't think it is very strong but then I do like strong cheese generally.

A milder option is Castello creamy blue which is nice with salad or in a roll.

It's a shame I don't make cheese because I do have my own cave under the house. Well it's a damp cellar but it would work.
