Exotic Stilton

We're used to seeing Stilton as blue-veined, rather pungent cheese, but I made a delightful discovery this past week. I found a lovely, creamy white Stilton. But this was not your ordinary Stilton. This Stilton had pieces of candied ginger and mangoes embedded within it.

I was very happy with the cheese. It had a sweet, fruity taste, perfectly balanced with moments of tang from the ginger and creaminess from the cheese. I would highly recommend this curious and thoroughly enjoyable combination of tastes.

I rank Stilton with mangoes and ginger: 9/10

Cheeseball

Well, I have to say, it's been a while since I've had a great cheese to talk about. Not that I haven't been eating a lot of cheese, of course I have, it's just that nothing has been spectacular. Until a delighful cheeseball I sampled Christmas Eve. I will be in touch with it's creator to see if I can distribute the recipe, but I have to say, this cheeseball is delightful.

It was full of earthy tastes, brought on by sage, basil, thyme, and other such spices. It was also covered in nuts. But what made it particularly good was its creamy flavour.

I wish you could have been there to partake in this delightful cheesy ball.

I'll try to post the recipe if I get access to it.
