A New York Times article today mentions how the world’s cheese inventory keeps growing as there are more cheese-makers creating ever more different cheeses. Surprisingly, in the United States no goat cheeses were made before 1981 and now there are more than 200.
We love Capria soft goat cheese made by Lightwood Cheeses and will be featuring it in one of our wedding cakes this weekend.
Lightwood Cheese is set in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside, a stone’s throw from the birthplace of Edward Elgar. All their cheeses are entirely handmade and unpasteurised, Lightwood Cheese is a member of the Specialist Cheesemakers Association and are also found in Rick Stein’s Food Heroes Guide.
The other cheese we must mention here is, Ticklemore made in Devon, not only does is have a fantastic name it is a delicious goats cheese that no-one could resist! It is made with full fat
unpasteurised milk, giving it a fat content of 48%. Each cheese is hand moulded in baskets, giving them an unusual flattened sphere shape.
