Disclaimer: this is not a typical English cheese. It is a buffalo cheese, inspired by traditional Romanian cheese-makers, but it is made in Somerset and sold at our farmers market, so it counts as an English cheese. The maker is Alham Wood Organics, and they make a range of buffalo and cows cheeses and yogurt, both pasturized and "raw". This is one of the pasturized fresh cheeses, or Iambors. Danny describes it as "solid ricotta", but I think it has a much more mature and slightly saltier taste. Maybe a cross between ricotta and feta. It was really delicious on the olive bread we got from one of the stalls at the farmers market, the name of which we now cannot remember. The bread was delicious, if a little expensive, but it was sold to us by a French man, and when a French man offers you freshly baked bread, you take it.
Alham Wood also makes the cheese-tasking yogurt (or yoghurt, if you prefer). Next time I'm going to go crazy and try the buffalo yoghurt!

ReplyDeleteYes, you do. Sometimes life is that easy.
Similarly, if, while your husband is playing in a cricket match, two young English girls scamper up to you and ask, wide eyed, "Will you play with us?", you play with them. For 3 hours, prancing like a pony in public and letting your hair get turned into a snarled mess.
ReplyDeleteWell, we did manage to resist the second loaf that the French man was trying to foist on us at a reduced price.
