In the tickler, sometimes there are slightest crunchy bits, is that really dry as it’s matured so long or something else? The tickler and the Stilton are my favourites

I assume when you make own label stuff, that’s part of the deal, it just has Asda this that and the other on it

Calcium crystals apparently, watched a clip about Snowdonia cheese recently, the cheese tester mentioned it .

You got the wrong cheese. You want some Davidstow.

 

[Sparkymark]

Anyone been offered one of the new Arla 360 grazing contacts? Supposed to be all up and running by 1st May. I had my audit but nothing offered yet.

Im suprised just how good the “BOB” is, for a supposedly low fat cheese it’s got some nice flavour and strength

 

[buffalo_soldier]

Ditto, maybe that should be the slogan.

"BoB cheese, it's tastier than you think it'll be"

Well I bet a lot of people dismiss it cause it’s low fat. It’s not one I’ve ever considered picking up before but certainly will now.

+4ppl. Well done
Wife bought some lurpak butter, it looks yellowish, but when you spread it, it goes almost clear. Unlike nice yellow British butter. Is that because danish cows never see grass or why?

Been told it's the lack of carotene and the way it's cultured.

I have been told that butter goes yellow due to air exposure. For a long time most UK butter was from NZ (we did not produce enough milk to make much butter) and during transport the blocks got yellow around the edges. The butter was rechurned and packed in the UK and was then yellow in colour so that became the normal colour for butter in the UK. Butter made very traditionally by allowing the cream to float on the top of the milk for a few days before skimming and churning as my Mum did years ago was also yellow for the same reason.

If you make butter from simple cream from channel island breeds you maintain the yellow colour. Most low fat Holstein type milk needs colour to be added to it so it looks like butter we all think we know.
So simple is best.

Just been having a go at asda extra mature cheddar which came from arla, very impressed with that one,i will be having that again.

and a much stronger flavour too, i've switched to making my own personal butter from our holsteins, and it still looks like butter, maybe slightly paler

Not keen on this quoting Arla.

So basically, if you're crowd funded and have your shed built with grant money, then claim more grants, you can sell cheap milk to yourself
