  2. Afternoon cheesefans. Don't worry about the lack of snow - think cheese! Yes, it's time for Cheesemans Cheese of the Week. Coquetdale Vegetarian, hard cheese of round shape made from cow's milk. The cheese was made by Mark Robinson in his hometown in Northumberland. It is a soft, supple cheese with a wonderful balance of sweet-savory flavors and a nutty, slightly salty finish. The fine, leathery, natural rind has yellowish-gray mould. Ripening process takes 10 weeks.
  3. Oops I'm sorry I meant to post this one. Apologies for my mistake. Xynotyro: Xynotyro means "sour cheese", but this one does not represent its name. It is made from the mixture of sheep's and goat's milk in various shapes and sizes. Xynotyro is a hard, flaky cheese that melts in the mouth and the flavor is a combination of sweet, burnt caramel, lanolin and the sour taste of the whey. This cheese belongs to the group of low-fat cheeses and has a fat content of 20 per cent.
  4. Not cheese related but we have ETC in our car and I'm glad we did. We don't use it that much but it is less hassle when we do and good to get cheaper prices at times. It means more cheese!

It has a shape of small loafs in different sizes. The cheese has no rind. Chopped mint is often added to the curd, which adds some life to otherwise milky-bland taste.

  6. Hi Cheesefans Time for this weeks Cheeseman's Cheese of the Week. Over to Norway. I really like this one: Jarlsberg Jarlsberg is a traditional, creamery, hard, Norwegian cheese. The world's most famous "Baby Swiss", Jarlsberg has the consistency texture and hole formation of Swiss Emmental but its flavor is more nut-like and sweeter. The paste is golden yellow with holes of various sizes. A full wheel of Jarlsberg weighs about 20 lbs., one tenth the weight of a wheel of Emmental. Jarlsberg can be used as a table cheese, dessert cheese or sandwich cheese. Serve it with wine

  9. Hi folks it is time for Cheeseman's Cheese of the Week. This week over to Germany and I really like this one. Tilsit Creamery, semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk. It has a wheel-shape, the thin, dry, yellow-beige crust has some moulds. This cheese was discovered by Dutch cheesemakers, living in Tilsit which was then in East Prussia. The cheese is washed and brushed regularly for the first two months so that the crusty rind forms. This protects the smooth, supple interior with its tiny, irregular holes from drying out. The aroma is mildly pungent while the taste is buttery and
