A BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Firstly I must apologise for the lack of interaction on this ‘post page’!!  Really I have no creditable excuse  other than the fact that we have been distracted with various jobs in the dairy other that cheese making and putting posts on the website kept being pushed to the bottom of the pile!!

Anyway… here we are in 2015!!!  The new seasons sheep milk is flowing in thick and fast (and white!!)   so lots of Fosse Way Fleece being made.

As all you fans of ‘Pendragon’ know,  we lost our supply of buffalo milk at the beginning of 2014 and have had great problems finding another source.  We’d had enough stock to keep going until September but now we have no Pendragon at all.

 Good news!  we think we’ve found another supplier in Wales,  they are currently increasing their herd size and fingers crossed there will be milk available in April…Yippee!!   There will of course be a period of maturation so we’re anticipating pendragon being available again around August/September time.

We’ll keep you informed!

The cheeses from Somerset Cheese Company are firm favourites with our customers, the different varieties of milk used to make the cheeses is a big factor in this with each type having its own distinctive flavour.  My personal favourite is Rainbows Gold with its rich curd and sticky pungent rind, it is quite different from any other local cheese and a great addition to the range!

As well as consistently making fantastic tasting cheese, Phillip and Anita have been lovely people to work with, over the years they have given a novice deli owner invaluable help with great advice based on their wealth of knowledge and lots of support with numerous tasting events both in the deli and out at festivals.
