Advent Calendar 2025 5-24

Rather boring over the last few days (5-12) - herbs again (as on the day before), Gouda again, cheddar, red cheddar, cheddar, then Gouda for three days! Oh dear. Not good enough. The rest was no better. I'll try soemthing else next year.

Advent Calendar 2025 2-4

Day one's Edam has been followed by Gouda, red Cheddar and a cheese (seemed to be cheddar) with herbs. Very processed but a decent chunk each time. I'm enjoying it.

Advent Calendar 2025 - 01

I've got a new advent calendar thiis year which I started today - Edam behind the first door.

The first five cheeses

I have been using the cheese advent calendar. The cheeses are processed and wrapped in plastic; I should probably let them breathe a bit before eating and I should have them with a cracker or something but there we are. (Looking around I see that the calendar is offered by some suppliers with chutney or biscuits). No doublers yet. So far we have had

Ilchester Aged Red Leicester

This traditional English cheese has been carefully matured for a minimum of 9 months giving it a distinguishable smooth, tangy and nutty taste.

llchester Cheddar

This traditional English cheese has been carefully matured for a minimum of 9 months giving it a distinguishable smooth, tangy and nutty taste.

Ilchester Double Gloucester

A hard cheese with a savoury, mellow flavour, famous for being the cheese that is rolled down Coopers Hill yearly, in May, for the UK’s most extreme cheese race!

Ilchester Mature Cheddar

This cheddar comes from the West Country, close to where Cheddar originated in the Mendip Hills. Take a bite and let the creaminess melt in your mouth, with its earthy tangy notes.

Ilchester Red Leicester with black peppers

This smooth and nutty traditional English cheese is flecked with cracked black pepper to give a delicious savoury, smooth flavour and a little bite.

Advent Calendar

As a treat for Christmas I have purchased a cheese advent calendar.

Looking forward to enjoying it soon.
