The name Ticklemore, however poetic it may sound, is actually due to a mis-spelled street name. Robin Congdon once explained it as: 'The cheese is named after Ticklemore Street and Ticklemore Street used to be called Picklemore Street. A picklemore is a hard track of land lying in swampy marsh. We have one here in Totnes. Somebody messed up and replaced the P with a T.' Originally made by Robin, Ticklemore has recently passed to the Sharpham Creamery and is made by an ex-cheesemaker of Robin's, Debbie Mumford. Its shape is a ridged oval with a white rind and it has a bright clean white interior. Ticklemore has delicate, floral, lactic flavours with a coolness that reminds us of ice-cream. Its texture is crumbly, moist and succulent.
