POSTED BY PHILIP ON NOVEMBER 20, 2022

Nothing is certain in life but the inevitability of death, the inescapability of taxes, and Nature’s iron rule that a cheese infused with something else will never be very good. This sheep’s cheese co...

Autumn 2022 Cheese Night

POSTED BY PHILIP ON OCTOBER 20, 2022

What better way is there to eat cheese than via a strictly regimented rating system? We were initially concerned that with 9 people a paltry 13 cheeses would leave us hungry for more. Thankfully this ...

POSTED BY PHILIP ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

The last review of a Tesco halloumi determined that, while the Tesco specimen wasn’t actually all that good, halloumi’s baseline deliciousness is so high that it can’t fail to impress. To put this t...

In recent weeks Tesco has added an impressive number of new cheeses to their deli counter; not only that, but the general tastiness of said new entries is high. Not since the first milk-laden battalio...

Tesco Finest Cave-Aged Goat’s Cheese

POSTED BY PHILIP ON APRIL 8, 2021

Cows are near-ubiquitous in the large-lactating-mammal space. When I think of cheese, I think of throaty mooing, weighty hooves, jiggling udders and plaintive eyes. In recent years, though, I have com...
