Sunny Road Raw Cheddar
I’m always excited to find new cheeses from here in Minnesota so I was eager to try Daniel Lemke’s raw cheddar from Morning Star Farm in Cokato. Unfortunately, it’s not a particularly interesting cheese. Distributed in bricks much like commodity cheese, the flavor profile of Sunny Road has none of the characteristics of the best […]
Janet Fletcher: Westcombe Cheddar a dessert in the making
Heartily agree- traditional cheddars are an excellent choice for the Christmas board! “On holiday cheese platters, a hefty wedge of farmstead cheddar belongs right next to the Stilton. Add some pears and sliced panforte, and you’ve got dessert. For good value, I’m not sure you can do better than the Borough Market Westcombe Cheddar, a […]

A staggering 12 tonnes of his creation was served at the Olympic Games, but sponsorship rules meant he couldn’t talk about it – until now. Today, a West Yorkshire cheesemonger has officially unveiled his ‘Legacy’ cheese, which was enjoyed by athletes, politicians and members of the Royal family at the Olympics. Richard Holmes, of Cryer […]
Taste 28 Year Old Cheddar – October 6 in Wisconsin
Count me curious but a bit skeptical… not because of the age of the cheese, but about what it was to begin with, factory cheese or, as I call it, “tourist cheese”, one of countless varieties available at roadside cheese shops in Dairyland. I’ve had 13 and 15-year Wisconsin cheddar, wax blocks. Neither were particularly […]
Baltimore cheesemaker: Cedar Hill Farm
I was able to try Cedar Hill’s “Meadow” last year at Wooodberry Kitchen in Baltimore. Very good! I always wonder what motivates people, so I asked Abby – a talented musician, with little time for her baby grand piano these days – what sparked her enthusiasm for this arduous and risky business. Connell responded by […]
