New cheese! Introducing Mayfield Swiss from @alsop

New cheese!
Introducing Mayfield Swiss from @alsopandwalker. Made in Plumpton, East Sussex, Mayfield is a semi-soft cheese with naturally occurring 'eyes'.
The taste is intense; almost-burnt caramel sweet with the deeper, richer flavours coming through. There's a pleasant acidity that stops the sweetness becoming cloying, a buttermilk like tang that just takes the edge off and leaves you with a lingering taste of grassy, musty sun-warmed hay.
It's a whooper of a cheese for my little counter, but I have a sneaky suspicion it won't hang around for long!

Cheese for the Weekend anyone? This week: Bath B

Cheese for the Weekend anyone?

This week:

Bath Blue - soft but with a great depth of flavour and well balanced blue tang. World Cheese Awards Supreme Champion 2014.

Shakespeare - silky smooth and oozing, this ewes milk brie has a gently salty note to counter the sharpness of the paste and earthiness of the rind.

Appleby's Cheshire - said to be the British Cheese with the longest, continuous history of production (Cheshire Cheese is mentioned in the Doomsday Book) this is British cheese making at it's most traditional. Crumbly, slightly grassy and with a piquant finish that lingers beautifully.

Pitchfork Cheddar - a relative newcomer to the traditional Cheddar world, Pitchfork takes it's name from the Trethowan brother's habit of using (clean!) pitchforks to turn the curds. It definitely works - this Cheddar is a stupendously good cheese, with fruity, grassy and punchy flavours in abundance.

Morbier - there's nothing quite like Morbier, with it's fine layer of Ash running through the middle of the ultra-smooth, supple paste. The taste is powerful but not overpowering.

To go with them: molasses sweet and umami savoury Fig & Olive Chutney and tangy, sweet and crunchy Apricot, Date & Sunflower Seed cracker bakes.

This poster has been made by a trailblazing young lady named Millie, after seeing the appalling state of the beaches and parks after last week's sunshine brought masses of visitors.
It's saddening that anyone so young should feel that they have to step up and take responsibility for the actions of adults, but she's doing just that.
Check out @kidsvslitter to hear her story and please, please PLEASE, if you go to the beach or the parks or the hills, TAKE YOUR LITTER HOME!

It's another glorious day, in Wincanton this time,

It's another glorious day, in Wincanton this time, and back in our favourite spot in the market place.

The sun brings with it it's own challenges. Cheese and sunshine don't mix, so the counter will shuffle around as the day goes on, and we have to get a bit creative to make sure the cheese stays in the best condition. In a space so small, everything does double duty - lids from storage boxes become covers to reduce the load on the chiller, while the boxes themselves become a stand for the till, which then becomes a wedge to keep the fridge door closed while parked on a hill!
#tastingtoday is Cornish Kern, from @cornish.yarg. Hailing from just outside Truro, it's been described as the 'dark horse of the cheese world' - the unassuming dark grey rind shields a rich, golden paste, with an intensely sweet, almost butterscotch flavour which won it the coveted Supreme Champion at the #worldcheeseawards 2017.

No, we haven't decamped to the Mediterranean, honest!
What a change from last week. The winter boots have gone back in the cupboard (again) and it's sunshine and clear blue skies all the way in Shaftesbury today. #thetruckletruck #cheeseydoesit #shaftesbury
