The other day I visited Neal’s Yard Dairy in their Borough Market location for the second time in two years. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
Oh how I wish we had something like this in the states. There would be a line out the door! Can you imagine walking down the street and seeing wheels of cheese propped up right outside the door?
It would stop people in their tracks. I wonder how many people {if any} have ever walked by and on a whim decided to buy an entire wheel of cheese?
Maybe I should have asked.
I think it’s been well documented here on the blog that I love my pickety bits. Cheese and crackers included.
And while I might not be as crazy for cheese as my friend JJ, I do love a good aged cheddar, soft brie and especially goat cheese.
My main mission for my visit to Borough Market and Neal’s Yard Dairy was to bring back a few different cheeses, crackers, chutney and some fresh fruits and vegetables for a nice linner at the table in our hotel room.
And man oh man was it hard to choose!! If the HH was with me we would have bought a nice hunk of stinky blue cheese.
He’s so much more adventurous when it comes to trying new foods than I am. Especially cheese!
In the end I purchased a little round of the soft and creamy St Cere.
According to Neal’s Yard Dairy St. Cere is “a small but intense washed-rind cow’s milk cheese . Expect pungent, farmyardy flavours and a melting centre that may require a spoon.”
{YES, I needed a spoon!}. 😉
And a nice wedge of Stichelton for my mother {which she thought was fantastic!}. Ripe and somewhat stinky and a perfect pairing with fruit and crackers.
Cheese, glorious cheese! I love it here. I can’t believe I have to go home soon.
