Cheese

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I recommend this

though I may be slightly biased in view of its name.

A great taste. Even MrGongGong might like it.

You can't know better than the cheese-makers - blessed are the cheese-makers.

I wondered how long it wouldn't be before someone came out with that one! (which I've always thought of as "blessed are the Cleesemakers")...

Ah, yes - a Worcester cheese from - er - Herefordshire!

The cream of Gerontius, anyone?

Is Devon Blue mentioned in that link the same as what used to be called Blue Vinny? I remember it being tasty, but seemed to need exception from some EU regulations. I think it was the issue about pasteurisation which caused a problem.

[MrGongGong]

No
That's a different cheese
This one (BEENLEIGH BLUE)is an unpasteurised sheeps milk cheese

I think Blue Vinny is from Dorset
and the EU "ban"?
A straight banana story (it actually has protected status as OXO boy will confirm)

I do recall being given Kraft cheese slices at school, and a friend calling it "Dunlop cheese".

Dunlop cheese is actually quite good http://www.dunlopdairy.co.uk/

My favourite blue chees is Dunsyre Blue, especially when it's really ripe. I first encountered it in the Neal's Yard Dairy, many years ago, & it was so ripe & runny it almost needed a spoon.

You can find out more about Dunsyre Blue at this cheese resource - http://www.cheese.com/dunsyre-blue/

It is made by Erringtons - The Errington Cheese Company - and their website has a long list of supply outlets - http://www.erringtoncheese.co.uk/ including one or two in the London area and maybe one or two near me.

It's not banned by the European cheese laws that govern the manufacturing process, availability and names of cheese that people are allowed to eat.

It has actually been legally protected by the protectionist directive - (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council, which regulates the protected status system.

According to the Guardian newspaper, it seems the EU wants to extend its laws on cheese to the USA.

Indeed, but at that time when we went on a trip round Cornwall and back through Devon and Dorset many years ago, and sampled some of the cheese, there were thoughts that such cheeses would be banned, because of concerns about the live bacteria used in the cheese making, and the use of non pasteurised ingredients. Since then I think the rules were adapted, perhaps with exceptions, and some products do have protected status.

Yes. I think Webern's symphony also got an exception under the EU music laws.

You have to wonder how vegetarians manage before the EU invented cheese for us.

although , apparently not all cheese is suitable for vegetarians.

Looking at that reminded me of the Isle of Mull Cheddar - a really good cheddar-type cheese, well worth looking for.

Hmmm. odd.
