English cheese – Lancashire
Posted on December 27th, 2008 by admin
Lancashire cheese, a crumbly English cow’s-milk cheese, is considered one of the premier products of the county. Many local farms produce this famous cheese, and it is associated, historically, with the town of Leigh. Lancashire cheese can be classified as “crumbly”, “tasty” or “creamy”. It is reputed to be the best toasting cheese in the world (because it does not go stringy when melted) and as such is a favourite for Welsh rarebit. Lancashire cheese is often featured on supermarket cheese counters although, like many other cheeses, this product tastes substantially different from those varieties made on the many farms that produce it.
