Sharpham Rustic

Sharpham Cheeses are near neighbours of Ticklemore Cheese in South Devon, and between them they produce a remarkable range of marvellous products.

The 'Rustic' is semi-hard, matured for approximately 6-8 weeks, giving a light-flavoured cheese with a moist, creamy texture. A thin, natural white rind forms during the maturation process.  It's a real delight, and and if you haven't tried it, dare I say: you should!  There's also a version with herbs, and  do have alook at Shapham's  Brie and the truly luxurious Elmhirst.

The smaller photo on the left  (don't enlarge it if you have a nervous disposition) shows, l to r, Mark Sharman of Sharpham, yours truly, and Dave Johnson of Norsworthy fame.  Oh, and that's the shed itself in the background.
