Cheese, a versatile food that
you can serve with crackers, on toast, in sauces, on pizzas, in quiches, as
part of a ploughman’s lunch … the list goes on. Whether you enjoy it with a cup
of tea or a glass wine, it’s a delicious food, rich in protein and calcium,
which you can indulge in at any time. 
There are those, however, who
have found other interesting uses for cheese. In Gloucestershire, an annual cheese-rolling
contest (thought to date back to the 19th century) is held at
Cooper’s Hill, Brockworth, with the 2017 champion, soldier Chris Anderson, recently
crowned – or rather presented with a Double Gloucester Cheese. The race
involves chasing downhill after a 9lb Double Gloucester Cheese, which can apparently
reach speeds of 70mph! A May Day programme of cheese-rolling events is also
held yearly in Stilton, Cambridgeshire.
But if all this seems a bit
too energetic for you, we have an idea for a cheese activity that you can enjoy
in your own home – cheesemaking. If you’re new to the craft, then one of our
comprehensive kits is an easy way to get started. Visit http://www.cheesemaking.co.uk/cheese-making-cheese-making-kits to see our full range.
You can get the whole family
involved in making delicious cheese, whether hard or soft, made with cows’,
goats’ or sheep’s milk and with the addition of herbs and spices if desired. So
why not give it a go, with a little help from Moorlands?
