That's the trouble: there are just so many good cheeses to choose from! Have you tried my local cheese - Tunworth? It has won lots of awards recently.

We have some wonderful french cheeses from nearby Quebec Canada (I'm next door in Ontario). But hard to get really great cheese here. After visiting a friend in Belgium many years ago, she came to visit and we met up in New York City - she "smuggled" in some wonderful cheeses for us to enjoy - I actually don't know the rules about U.S. customs, but, in Canada, we cannot transport any dairy in from other countries. So sad.

O...There are some great tasting cheeses available.<br /><br />One that I've only recently discovered is Epoisses, I buy it from Waitrose and it's simply delicious. Their web site describes it as gloriously sticky, pungent with an abundantly fruity tang. Made in the small village of Epoisses in Burgundy, the rind of this cheese is washed over and over again in Marc de Bourgogne.<br /><br />It really is worth trying - if you haven't already.<br /><br />All the best Jan Lowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-59684436958173524452015-01-21T19:55:29.546+00:002015-01-21T19:55:29.546+00:00Sounds like you're having a great time with fa...Sounds like you're having a great time with family and baby.

My favourite British cheese at the moment is Stichelton- a raw cows milk traditional English blue cheese made on the Welbeck Estate in Nottinghamshire by Joe Schneider. Lovely and creamy and a touch less salty than Stilton. I also love the cheese made by Charlie Westhead of Neil’s Yard Creamery in Herefordshire-his goat milk cheeses-the Ragstone, Dorstone and Dill Perroche are divine...And not forgetting St James, a wonderful unpasteurised sheeps milk cheese made by Martin Gott up in Cumbria...<br />Green Dragonettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577026799637153889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-73748826534147852432015-01-21T17:32:23.977+00:002015-01-21T17:32:23.977+00:00I wonder if you will have cheese for lunch...I wonder if you will have cheese for lunch...Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-79483022267719713232015-01-21T17:31:01.586+00:002015-01-21T17:31:01.586+00:00Yes, I like that one too, though being from the Py...Yes, I like that one too, though being from the Pyrenees, I think it goes best with Spanish-style food.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-26278902227732012372015-01-21T17:27:57.737+00:002015-01-21T17:27:57.737+00:00Yes, we've been to the Wensleydale creamery in...Yes, we've been to the Wensleydale creamery in Hawes too - and I agree that the plain cheese is best.

I'm like Jo I prefer Wensleydale but I also like a good goats cheese too. I don't eat a lot of cheese now since Mike became lactose intolerant but the farm shop close by does a lovely selection of smaller pieces of cheese. I used to like a pick & mix selection with crackers on a Saturday night.

They make Wensleydale with different things added, apricots, cranberries etc. but I prefer it just as it is. Lovely that you got to see Luna at the weekend, she's at a lovely age, though I don't know where those thirteen months have gone, it doesn't seem two minutes since you were announcing her birth.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
