I can’t claim to have a “Cheese of the Week,” but I am a huge fan of the selection at my local grocer. Apart from the Stilton, my latest sortie also included a Gloucester with chives and a Wensleydale with cranberries. Only one of my roommates will even touch imported cheeses, so a single wedge of a hard or semi-hard cheese lasts a good while.
White Stilton with Blueberries
A rindless cheese with a mild taste, the blueberries help preserve the moisture content of the cheese, making it noticeably less dry than other white Stiltons, such as a white Stilton with apricots.
Single Gloucester with Chives
Similar to a mild cheddar, but with a slightly softer texture and a more complex taste.
Wensleydale with Cranberries
Packaged in wax rind, this is a hand-made cheese with dried cranberries. Creamier than a Stilton yet at the same time drier due to the dehydrated fruit.
