Of course, it's possible my tastes have changed since 2009 too, but this was packed with flavour.<br /><br />With these craft products I suppose every batch is different, which is often part of their charm. Happy to report that for now at least I can wholeheartedly recommend Berksdale!Chris Poplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668565800857295023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-71944650121151247772011-03-08T17:06:24.127+00:002011-03-08T17:06:24.127+00:00Were you not previously underwhelmed with the Berk...Were you not previously underwhelmed with the Berkswell?<br /><br />Seems like they are two different cheeses!<br /><br />Was the HJ offering just a poor example or have the guys at Ram Hall upped their game since 2009?<br /><br /><i>The staff at Hamish Johnston first steered me towards something called Berkswell, from Warwickshire, but I wasn't that impressed - it was quite bland and needed something to lift it above its straightforward texture.</i><br />http://cheesenbiscuits.blogspot.com/2009/10/cheese-of-month-redesdale.htmlWallensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338735499450936880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-38230930058822300452011-03-08T16:27:20.507+00:002011-03-08T16:27:20.507+00:00Pretty sure you can find it at Hamish Johnston, No...Pretty sure you can find it at Hamish Johnston, Northcote Rd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
