Supper

To finish off supper tonight we had cheese. Colston Bassett Stilton and Dam Buster Cheddar, my two favourite cheeses.
Colston Bassett Stilton was first recognised as a type of cheese at the beginning of the eighteenth century.  It was given its name by the village of Stilton, just south of Peterborough on the Great North Road, where it was first made and traded. Having originally being made in the town of Stilton, protection by a certification trademark (PDO - Protected Designation of Origin)
means that today the world famous cheese can only be made in the three adjacent counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire.

Dambuster Cheddar is a full flavoured, pasteurised, strong Cheddar cheese produced in Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, in honour of the RAF 617 squadron based at local RAF base, Scampton. The mature cheddar is wrapped in a distinctive black wax, helping the cheese retain the soft, creamy texture whilst maintaining it's classification as a firm cheese, and preventing further maturation upon leaving the dairy.
