No it's true Ian,listen to BBC radio 2 on the web.

How lucky are you!!!??? I was surprised how much cheaper cheese was over there when I was there in January..

Cheese...mmmmm....love the stuff. None of this plastic rubbish from supermarkets though.

Love all cheeses but I'd say blues are my favourites...also, if you can, try a semi-soft cheese called morbier...it's in 2 halves, made from the morning milk and the afternoon milk......



Also, see if you can try some barolo cheese...mmmmmmm..it's wrapped in the grape skins of the nebbiolo grapes which is used to produce barolo wine..sensational cheese.



IMO, the best cheeses are the farm house styles you can get, or the imported cheeses through specialty delis/providores...Our regulations here state our cheeses must be made with pastuerised milk......damn shame, but I think some changes may be afoot in that regard. Let's hope so...

Where abouts in the UK did you get to Mick?

It's a real shame though...Australia and New Zealand are the only countries that cannot produce cheese with unpastuerised milk.....if we could, we wouldn't be so reliant on imports, and, with our cleverness and ingenuity, would probably be competing very well against some of the kings of cheese such as Roquefort etc..(although where Roquefort is produced would be impossible to replicate anywhere else, but you get the point). You just have to look at how successful our wines are overseas...
