FEATURED CHEESE: Heart of England
Click here for an explanation of cheese ratings
Everything good is British: tea, music, accents -- and now, we discover, cheese. Our Featured Cheese is a blend of not one, not two, not three, not even four but five (!) delicious cheeses that combine to form a medley of dairy delight unrivalled in the Velveeta-munching colonies.
Our previous Featured Cheese was a semi-soft from France. It was tasty but seemed weak somehow, lacking in character, ready to capitulate at the slightest threat. This British cheese, however, is firm and resolute. One can imagine it enduring wave after wave of attacks, its head unbowed, its spirit unbroken.
At first I tried to taste each layer individually but quickly realized that this was a mistake. It's best to enjoy the cheese as a whole, letting the constituent cheeses -- red and white cheddar, white stilton, double Gloucester and Leicester -- mix and mingle, allowing the contrasts to entertain the palate. Spot on, old chap. Spot on.
