In praise of British Cheese

I don't know what it is that the Dutch do to cheese despite their colourful market at Alkmaar. Photogenic but tasteless.

Another cheese lover here, have you tried Dorset Blue Vinnie, a good cheese that goes down well with a good red wine.

Write your comments here...Yes I have and quite agree

With likely increases in prices following Brexit tariffs, we could see more diversification in British Cheese.I am sure we can produce the same varieties as those we imort from Europe. Likewise we can gow most " Meditaranian" vagatables here in the UK>Hopefully our farmes/ hoticultualist will spend the next few years  developing these items to meet the new market conditions.

 

In some areas of France the French are developing a real 'British cheese' habit.  

Too late for an exasperated de Gaulle who in 1962 famously complained...

"How can you govern a country which has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese? "

There are however, around 700 varieties of British cheeses which may explain a lot...............

You can't beat a good Stilton.  I like Shropshire Blue too, just read it started out as a Scottish cheese.

Just helping myself to some cheese and bis cuts with a glass of red, whilst reating this thread.  Alas, tonight it is St Agur blue cheese.

Also a cheese fan - love finding local cheeses when away - has anyone found the cheese shop in Tavistock - that only sells - um is it West Country Cheeses - certainly British masses of choice.  There are some lovely cheeses in Lincolnshire too - Cote Hill Farm have a delicious Blue Cheese and various others and then of course the Poacher Range to name a couple. 

Last time we were in Yorkshire we went to the Wensleydale cheese factory and tried quite a few of the cheeses.  We ended up buying several pieces, our favourites were the Wensleydale with Limoncello,  and the Wensleydale with mango and ginger.

Love British cheeses, favourites being Cheshire and Wensleydale but unlike KNN above I'm not keen on cheese being "mucked about" with!
