Caerphilly
Tasting Notes
Look: Firm but creamy white paste with an ivory rind
Touch: Smooth in texture yet slightly crumbly
Smell: Mild sweetness, like candied fruit and soft caramels
Taste: Subtle butter with a kiss of lemon cheesecake, fresh lactic, an authentic taste not soon forgotten
Lovers
Food: Warm walnut, banana and oat breads, strawberries, pears, plums and preserves.
Beverage: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, coffee – but can be enjoyed with Champagne (Blanc de Blancs) or coffee
Clothbound Cheddar
Tasting Notes
Look: Depending on the versions, most likely ivory and soft brown tones and a speckled cloth rind and a rough textured rind under the cloth
Touch: The paste has natural cheddar-smoothness
Smell: Ocean spray, slight barn, grass, lactic, vegetal
Taste: Slightly buttery flavours are mingled with fruity essences and caramel undertones. A true clothbound cheddar can be sharp or mild but is always strong in natural cheese spirit
Lovers
Food:Sliced red apples and pears are the perfect carrier for this simple but magnificent cheese but for the more adventurous a sweet balsamic glaze drizzled over a mouthful will bring out the caramel.
Beverage: Dark beers and your favorite ales including a cherry lager if the intent is to sip.
Beaufort
BEAUFORT
Tasting Notes
Look: Has an ivory, almost yellow paste and a stamped, oatmeal coloured rind
Touch: A bouncy soft interior
Smell: Wild honey, tropical fruit, pure butter
Taste: A creamy finish full of fresh cut grass, coconut meat, flowers and a luxuriant salt with a surprise smokiness on the finish
Lovers
Food: Fresh or dried figs, sugared nuts such as pecans and almonds and rustic crunchy breads
Beverages: New Zealand Pinot Noir, Cotes-du-Rhone or St. Joseph
