Cheese of the month September 2013: Caerphilly from Gorwydd/Wales, UK

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannKommentar hinterlassen

Generally speaking Caerphilly doesn’t have a very good reputation in the UK. The blame for this mostly has to go to the large cheddar producers who cannibalized this fairly old cheese and turned it into a fast-maturing, boring cash cow.

Cheese is a feminist issue. You either have the mammaries or you don’t. As a cheeseaholic myself, I’m ultra-aware of the difference between the sexes – just go try milking a bull, a ram or a billy goat and you’ll get ample proof of the basic uselessness of the male animal in a mammary-orientated situation.

Contrary to common belief, polar bears, Inuit and snow are NOT the only features there. The good people of the Okanagan grow wine (and it can be very good – YES!) and some keep goats.  » Weiterlesen…

A pittoresque medieval small town in Piedmont full of cheeses from all over the world – from September 19th until 23rd the Cheese once again turned Bra into a taste of paradise.

Cheese places: Ultracomida in Aberystwyth/Wales

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula Heinzelmann1 Kommentar

Aberystwyth is a small seaside town in the west of Wales, complete with grey stony beach, seagulls and the smell of greasy vinegar from fish and chips shops. It’s pittoresque in spite of the modest way of life of its friendly inhabitants and the university gives it an additional jump in ist step. » Weiterlesen…
