Coquetdale cheese

Last updated

Coquetdale cheese is a full-fat semi-hard cheese, made from pasteurised cow's milk and vegetarian rennet. The cheese, which takes its name from Coquetdale, Northumberland, is produced by the Northumberland Cheese Company. [1]

Coquetdale cheese is ripened in a mould for ten weeks, during which time it develops a yellowish-grey natural rind.

The producers describe Coquetdale as "rich, clean and creamy with a melting texture and a long, fruity finish". The cheese won first prize at the Bakewell Show in 2006. [2]

Gloucester is a traditional, semi-hard cheese which has been made in Gloucestershire, England, since the 16th century. There are two varieties of the cheese, Single and Double; both are traditionally made from milk from Gloucester cattle. Both types have a natural rind and a hard texture, but Single Gloucester is more crumbly, lighter in texture and lower in fat.

The flower known as lady's bedstraw was responsible for the distinctively yellow colour of Double Gloucester cheese.
