Cheese Week

Did you know that we have more varieties of cheese than the French? Traditionally cheese was made by mixed farmers unable to get their fresh milk to the populous. This is why there are no famous cheese 'names' from the home counties. It is a shame to see so much imported cheeses when we have so many fantastic cheeses. Especially cream cheeses made in Germany from English powdered milk.

So support your local cheese and watch out for entrepreneurial dairy farmers developing a cheese for your county. In Bedfordshire we are helping a new enterprise develop a cheese in consultation with residents and Bedfordshire's heritage. As we are famous for Brussel Sprouts, a Brussel sprout blue cheese, perhaps?
