English cheeses
Most English cheeses are named after the regions in the U.K. they come from. Of course, everyone in South Africa is familiar with Cheddar cheese (which comes from Cheddar, England), but there are so many other good ones: Blue cheese lovers will love the king of English cheeses, Blue Stilton. Double Gloucester is slightly sharper than Cheddar. Cheshire has a buttery richness with just a salty touch to it and is very crumbly. Leicester is tangy and crumbly, and is used a lot for its great melting qualities (it made Welsh Rarebit famous!). Caerphilly is a white, crumbly cheese with an ever so light taste of buttermilk and is great for fondues. Lancashire is pure white, firm and spreads like butter. Derbyshire is a creamy white, tangy cheese perfect for salads.
