Food & Drink Cheeese

Just bought some Beaufort D’ete lovely stuff any recommendations for other cheeses to try.

 

I really enjoyed Swaledale cheese when I tried it, not the easiest to get hold of way up here though.

 

How are you with mould [blue cheese]?

 

Anything with a bit of age is good. If you're ever down Somerset way pay a visit to Cheddar. They have countless artisan cheese shops and you can try almost anything before you buy

 

I try to try any cheese I can, considering I used to hate the stuff I feel I've years to catch up.

Quite enjoy chilli cheese with mango chutney.
No idea of many names but I buys loadsa samples

Comte.

Tomme de Savoie (or any Tomme in general actually)

Godminster is probably the best cheddar in the world.

Isle of Wight blue is a lovely mild blue as well.

 

Godminster is indeed divine cheddar, as is Barber's Maryland cheddar. Godminster also make a beautiful black pepper organic brie.

Although relatively mainstream, Cropwell Bishop make some tasty Stilton.

If you like milder Bries then Ballybrie is worth a look, as is Bath Soft Cheese.

Ford Farm make a great selection of cheeses to a high standard.

 

Berwick Edge.

 

Next time you're in London why not check out Neal's Yard Dairy near Covent Garden. Sample away to your heart's desire before you buy some amazing cheeses and they do mail order too. At Christmas the queue is out the door and down the road, 50 long sometimes.

Their current stock list: http://www.nealsyarddairy.co.uk/cheeses.html

Edit: They sell Yarg and on the gentle side their Mozzarella di Buffella are to die for with a really good olive oil. And they have a stall at Borough Market too

 

If you are ever in Devon get yourself some Sharpham, that stuff is amazing.
Also Cornish Yarg is fantastic

You can tell what part of the country I'm from can't you

 

I love Yarg xxxx

Long time.

 

Borough Market in London is a good source of cheese.

But if you're a man, I mean a real man, not some namby-pamby metrosexual wuss with an aren't-I-hip goatee but a rugged, hirsute card-carrying member of the testicled gender who likes his cheese strong and substantial, I'd challenge you to a gastronomic encounter with Poulligny.

A strong, pungent goat's cheese, it is a Southern French farm yard captured in dairy. It is sun and straw and meadow, barns and farm animals and manure. It is the countryside distilled into an olfactory and gustatory experience.

Be careful. Be very, very careful. This cheese is not for the weak.

 

...I am intrigued...

Shirty you're a pain in the A and and sometimes shouldn't be allowed to post!

Not knowing what ^^^ was I looked it up, which led me here http://www.cracked.com/article_14979_the-6-most-terrifying-foods-in-world.html So now that's SIX things I didn't ever want to know about or ever taste. Thanks mate!

 

I've had Pouligny before. Pretty nuts stuff - up there with a 36 month open aged stilton I had once that was literally black. Can't say I'll go back to be honest, then again I once had a french soft cheese, some extremely intense Pont L'eveque if I remember rightly that made my stomach bleed. So forgive me for being wary.....!

It's very nice with a youthful Sancerre actually. Hence there being so many Goat's cheeses in the Loire valley I suppose.

Epoisses is another goodun' if you are into the strong stuff.

 

I posted that cracked article once as well )

i ate this sandwich recently, don't have much experience with cheese otherwise

being lactose intolerant, i try to avoid most cheese

 

I had a similar experience with a form of Roquefort, which was that stank it had to be double wrapped in clingfilm, handled with rubber gloves and kept in an airtight container otherwise its feety stank would permiate everything in the fridge. Including closed jars.
