I came home from a visit to YD and EGD via the Co-op in Debenham for the locally made Lane Farm sausages and while I was there looked at their range of 'artisan' (that just means expensive!) cheeses, to try something different.
Choose this smoked cheese from a producer I'd not heard of .
After googling I found they'd been around for 25 years...
I love cheese, any cheese, and there hasn't been a cheese I've tried in the 19 cheese tasting posts that I've not liked at all, but I'm afraid this one really wasn't good. Has to be eaten rather than thrown out but it's hard with an odd after taste.
Aldi don't have their multi grain crackers/biscuits that I used to get so I got these Salt and Pepper ones and goodness they really are peppery which is good as it overpowers the cheese!
What a pity. I don't suppose you could cook with it and hide the odd after taste with something stronger?
ReplyDeleteI shall get through it somehow - it wasn't cheap!
DeleteGrate and put in the freezer for toppings is another way.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably forget it was there
DeleteSo not so Holy then??
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not!
DeleteThank you for trying this for us - now we don’t have to buy any to try 😉

What a shame-I really enjoy smoked cheese but that was a disappointment. Catriona.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a smoked cheese so hard and tough before
DeleteWas it the smoked oak which flavored it weirdly?
ReplyDeleteNot sure why it was so odd
DeleteI've never tried smoked cheese and given your review this will stay off my radar.
ReplyDeleteLately, I like Edam and Brie. Strong Cheddar is always on hand too.
My favorite cracker is garlic and herb or a plain wheat cracker.

Unfortunately cheese and I have had a bit of a falling out so I don't buy any for myself any more :( - but my family does love a good cauliflower and broccoli cheese, so cheeses that don't get consumed immediately by my daughter tend to get used in that.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a shame you didn't care for the cheese. I haven't had that one, but like you, I'm generally happy with almost any cheese. I don't eat much of it, though. It disagrees with my cholesterol readings!
ReplyDeleteOh that is really too bad. I bought some cheese once that was really salty for some reason, so I used it to cook with and didn't have to add salt to my meal.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Sorry you didn't care for it. I love cheese, but I don't really like smoked cheese. It seems to have a weird taste to it.
