Red Leicester

Red Leicester

Origin: Leicestershire, England. We Paid: £1.99 per 100g, 2.62e per 100g Brief description: A very underrated, crumbly and rich cheese that Nigel Farage would be proud of. Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful cheese experience the oppression of the everyday Tesco value branding. We are here to liberate its reputation with a passion that could rival even the spirit of Donald Trump’s freedom cheerleaders. RED LEICE-STER, RED LEICE-STER, RED LEICE-STER Smell: Ellen: It smells like a farm. It has a complex smell that is earthy…

Burrata

Burrata

Origin: Southern Italy We paid: 1.96e per 100g (Disclaimer: It turns out Burrata goes off really REALLY quickly. If you include all the times you buy the cheese and let it go off before getting round to tasting it, then the price can rocket!) Texture: Although we expected a creamy cheese, the first thing that hit us both was the intense clotted cream-like texture. So much so, that an excerpt from Ellen’s notes reads ‘it’s almost like eating cream’ whilst Izzy wrote ‘liquidy, oozy and creamy’. After much meticulous research, it…

Figou

Figou

(The middle row of fig-shaped cheese is the figou!) Origin: Limoges – mid-France We paid: 5.10 euros per piece After many a trip to the, albeit vast, supermarket counter we decided to branch out and make the most of our final months in Bordeaux. After three months of gawping at the window of Fromagerie Deruelle on a little cobbled backstreet, and despite the infancy of this blog, we finally took a leap of faith and poured our souls out to Elodie. Luckily, she only thought we were mildly crazy and…

Comté (18 months)

Comté (18 months)

Origin: Eastern france We paid: 1.98e per 100g Texture: This is a perfectly medium-soft cheese with a spring in its step, akin to the Englishman’s best friend cheddar. Ours has basically melted in the 41 degree heat of Bordeaux… In the mouth it starts off solid but quickly dissolves into a soft, smooth velvet that tastes as expensive as Paris Hilton’s Juicy Couture tracksuit. Although creamy, there is still an element of the grittier texture of harder cheeses and like Westlife, these two textures work in perfect harmony. Taste: Bloody…
