CROCKHAMDALE

 
 
Made by Victoria Tagg near Crockham Hill, Kent
TYPE OF CHEESE:
Hard Sheeps Cheese
RENNET:
In transition
(some batches are made with vegetable rennet
and some with animal rennet)
MILK:
Unpasteurised Sheeps Milk
DESCRIPTION:
Victoria Tagg makes Crockhamdale to an old Wensleydale recipe that the late James Aldridge found in a 1920s Almanack. The result is a cheese whose texture has some of the moist crumbliness of a Wensleydale or Cotherstone with the sweeter, more biscuity or nutty flavours associated with sheeps milk. As it ages, it can have a warming spicy kick.
