Describing cheeses is dificult! In my struggle to do that, I may be guilty of over-using the term 'distinctive ... but when it comes to Sue Proudfoot's cheeses, that adjective definitely fits the bill! Sue's Keltic Gold has gained her a lot of attention, as a classy 'washed rind' cheese (local cider is used). And having just tried Miss Muffet again, I'm reminded of just what character her cheeses have.
Miss Muffet and Keltic Gold are close relations, but use different starter cultures and MM doesn't have the washed rind. The result is a sweet flavoured cheese with a supple texture, definitely 'semi-soft' and somehow not what you think of as English cheese! Michael Raffael, in his recent book, talks about "a springiness and cleanness on the palate, like the best Dutch Edams and Goudas but without the synthetic feel that some of the factory varieties have" (there's the answer to describing cheese - get someone else to do it for you ...).
Sue's cheese is made at Whalesborough Farm, near Bude.
