Borough Market – A Cheese Lover’s Guide

Borough Market – A Cheese Lover’s Guide

A foodie’s fantasy, a hedonist’s heaven and a legen-dairy land for lacto-lovers. You must have guessed it by now… we went on a day trip to London’s Borough Market! We made it, despite adverse conditions (cough…Southern Rail) and boy oh boy was there a plethora of cheese stalls to explore. We had no aim in particular, but we had heard about the high concentration of cheese to try in the endless maze of stalls. The lovely cheese-mongers are nestled amongst various artisan bakers, cooks and other fancy-produce-sellers. The market was…

Galet D’Albatre – Goats Cheese

Izzy Watson
Galet D’Albatre – Goats Cheese

Origin: Normandy, France Price: £4.65 per pebble What is it? A goats cheese that is mild and extremely fluffy with a sour edge What is in a name? The cheesemonger that furnished us with this beautiful, delicious cheese gave it a half-translated name of ‘le pebble normande’. ‘Albatre’ does exist in English (a pale, soft stone), presumably alluding to the surprisingly light and fluffy centre of this cheese. Guess he thinks the English aren’t as cultured as the French…so we’re going to call it Goaty McGoatface. cheese review The Cheese’s…

Summer Cheeseboard

Summer Cheeseboard

Which cheese should you put on your cheese board? It’s almost the end of August, the height of British Summer Time, the sun is very occasionally popping its head out from the clouds and the odd wild blackberry is beginning to appear. Temperatures are really trying to rise but still only stretching to about 25 degrees on a good day. Yet English enthusiasm never wains, and with the same stoicism we supported Eddie the Eagle with in 1998, we flock to the beaches to lessen the pale glow and invite…

Brillat Savarin

Brillat Savarin

Origin: Ile-de-France region of la belle France We Paid: £2.90/100g from a gorgeous little cheese shop called La Cave à Fromage in Hove. Click here to visit. What is it? A cheese that’s soft and ridiculously creamy, and hits the bulls-eye flavour wise, (maybe a little too hard). Une petite french histoire: Allow us to introduce Brillat Savarin…the man, the myth, the legend, gastronome extraordinaire, short on hair (there’s not a lot there), cheese-munching, woman loving (probably) JEAN-ANTHELME BRILLAT SAVARIN. Often touted as the first foodie, Savarin achieved what us mere mortals can only dream…

Homemade Burrata

Homemade Burrata

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm  Winston Churchill Turns out, cows don’t just poop out cheese. We recently acquired a rather fantasmical piece of equipment which seemed like it would open up a world of possibilities and launch Incredibrie Cheesy in a thrilling new direction. Hopefully not the same direction as One Direction (RIP). We’ll give you a clue, it’s more exciting than a cheese grater, even more exciting than a cheese slice, EVEN more exciting than a personalised cheese knife… Yes, you guessed it,…

Mont D’Or

Mont D’Or

Origin: Franche-Comte region of la gaie France We Paid: Rien, but it cost out lovely friend Livi £10 (per rond) Quick Description: A stinky, smelly stunner, great for dipping bread in General Info: This one came from Borough Market in London. A lovely fromagier there once told us that the Mont d’Or season is fleeting. Production begins in August and runs through to April, but the majority are made mid-winter with raw milk (unpasteurised) when the cow’s milk is ideal for soft and squishy cheeses. We got ours on April 1st…
