Galet D’Albatre – Goats Cheese

Galet D’Albatre – Goats Cheese

Origin: Normandy, France Price: £4.65 per pebble What is it? A goats cheese that is mild and extremely fluffy with a sour edge What is in a name? The cheesemonger that furnished us with this beautiful, delicious cheese gave it a half-translated name of ‘le pebble normande’. ‘Albatre’ does exist in English (a pale, soft stone), presumably alluding to the surprisingly light and fluffy centre of this cheese. Guess he thinks the English aren’t as cultured as the French…so we’re going to call it Goaty McGoatface. cheese review The Cheese’s…

Brillat Savarin

Brillat Savarin

Origin: Ile-de-France region of la belle France We Paid: £2.90/100g from a gorgeous little cheese shop called La Cave à Fromage in Hove. Click here to visit. What is it? A cheese that’s soft and ridiculously creamy, and hits the bulls-eye flavour wise, (maybe a little too hard). Une petite french histoire: Allow us to introduce Brillat Savarin…the man, the myth, the legend, gastronome extraordinaire, short on hair (there’s not a lot there), cheese-munching, woman loving (probably) JEAN-ANTHELME BRILLAT SAVARIN. Often touted as the first foodie, Savarin achieved what us mere mortals can only dream…

Wensleydale

Wensleydale

We’ve gathered our favourite Wensleydales from the factory. They all come from North Yorkshire! Hawes to be precise, down some rainy country lanes, which is the only place allowed to call their cheese Wensleydale.  Special Reserve Yorkshire Wensleydale We paid: £1.14 per 100g Brief description: A mature Wensleydale Smell: ‘It smells like a milky baby’ – Isobel Watson, 2016. I don’t know what babies she’s been smelling, but it doesn’t smell very mature (it’s been ageing for just over a month –  Elle suggested ‘month-old milk’ for the brief description…). It’s not…

Munster

Munster

Origin: Munster We Paid: £1.50 per 100g.  2.04€ per 100g Quick Description: Christmas time, mistletoe and wein! During this fabulously festive period we present you with a (faguely) festive fromage – Munster, a gooey Alsatian cheese that stinks to high heavens. (If you’ll never get to heaven in a baked bean tin then you certainly won’t make it on this cheese because the smell would knock you out before you got there). Smell: It smells of feta when it’s gone off, wet socks and mouldy carpets. This ‘smell’ category has to come…

Black Cheddar

Black Cheddar

The night, dark corners, Izzy’s soul and… charcoal cheddar? Origin: Good ole motherland We paid: £2.12 per 100g The spookiest holiday of them all is upon us…Christmas!!! (Joking). In celebration, we made like Meg & Mog and flew our broomsticks to Chapel Allerton near Leeds to find some weird cheese. Please welcome to the stage English Cheddar mixed with charcoal (yes, actual charcoal). ‘Why?’ we hear you cry! Sorry fans, we have no idea. Freaky flavour: If Izzy was the North, and Ellen was the South Pacific then like Moses this…
