Good tasting food can only made with great ingredients. I want to have some links to out side suppliers where great tasting food is available. http://www.wintertarn.co.uk/ are
the suppliers of speciality Cheeses, Farmhouse butter and milk Winter Tarn Organic Farm are situated near Shap, Cumbria, CA10 3EW. I met them at a 'Made in Cumbria' food fair. There is a bit of a joke as to the name of the cheese. The farm is situated close to where the film was made Withnail and I and as the blue streaks are produced with nails, the title was born.
This blue cheese is very similar to a dolcelatte Italian blue but I may be biased as I am jumping up and down for UK producers, I think its better. Its softer in texture and I think the flavour lingers more. The piece I had was fairly ripe and was good on its own or made into a sauce. If I had not eaten it all you could have had a picture of it.
There was also a newish (11 weeks) cream coloured smooth Caerphilly type which lingered in the mouth after a creamy start and an incredible Double Gloucester, red, creamy. A lot of cream descriptions here but that's what they are like.
