What a year we have had from wedding cakes and silver anniversary cakes to birthday cakes at Radio 1. We have been very busy and we’d like to top the year off by mentioning just a few of our favourite cheeses.
Cornish Yarg – A scrumptious semi-hard cheese from Cornwall, wrapped in nettle leaves making it one of the most stunning cheeses to look at, as well as having a deliciously creamy taste. The nettle leaves create a natural and entirely edible rind.
Lincolnshire Poacher -Since we have been putting together cakes made of cheese, we have come to love the Lincolnshire Poacher – it is a superb cheddar – handmade, using unpasteurised milk from a herd of 170 Holstein cows. Cheese makers’ quote: “Quite a lot upfront with a rich full flavour”.
Tornegus (Surrey) – Is a soft-rind cheese made with full-fat unpasteurised cow’s milk. The rind is washed in local Kentish wine, lemon verbena and mint. The flavour is simply divine – it is strong and fruity, softens and lengthens in the mouth.
Fowlers Warwickshire Real Ale and Mustard – To be completely honest we have never been huge fans of ‘mixed’ cheese, but this one is delicious, it is also very popular amongst the men – I wonder why?
Cornish Blue – Made in Liskeard by Philip and Carol Stansfield. It is a soft, mellow and sweet blue cheese – which will melt in your mouth! It is quite often a cheese we recommend for wedding cakes as they do a fabulous little truckle.
Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year.
