CHEDDAR ON MY MIND 4

Earlier this year when the weather was wetter and colder, just after Tom finished lambing in fact, Tom and I joined forces again to blend this seasons Cheddar on my Mind.

This time we were joined by Rebecca Holden of Holden Farm Dairy - the home of Hafod Cheddar. One the pioneers of organic dairy here in the UK Rebecca and her husband Patrick have farmed their piece of land between the Cambrian Mountains and the Ceredigion coat as the longest standing organic dairy in Wales.

A key part of their story is the creation of the raw milk Hafod Cheddar, a deliciously complex cheese that tastes of the land and the animal, changing batch by batch it’s a true reflection of the land and the craft of the team who make this great cheese.

So, Tom and I were delighted when Becky agreed to travel to Herefordshire to blend COMM with us, blended for cheddar but this time blended specifically with Hafod in mind.

A celebration of farm, friendship and collaboration.

If you’re in the area and would like to taste the cider and chat to Tom and Becky then head to the London Cider House at Borough Market on Tuesday afternoon and join us in launching season 4 of Cheddar on my Mind.

ON THE (Gloucester) ROAD

Great to hang out with Oli, Harriet and Poppy already signing folk up to Christmas cheese orders and selling delicious British cheese.

I was there with my hat on (figuratively- that’s just my red hat in the the photos) and we tasted Burford which is absolutely cracking full of sweet flavour from the June pastures

Christmas is very much in the air - Bristolians get on down to for all your cheese AND cider needs!

CHEDDAR ON MY MIND #4

Tasting notes for today’s pairing….

Barrel Room, Crab Apple Pastures, Welsh hillside, rain, baked apples and earth.

Cheddar on My Mind #4 is going to be different again.

This time and I teamed up with Becky Holden of

Becky is a Farmer and Cheesemaker of total commitment and credibility. Hafod Cheddar is up there, one of my top all time cheeses and on its day possibly number one…

Becky drove across Wales to join us and was kind enough to bring three different batches of Hafod made by and her team;

one from milk fed entirely on outdoor pasture,
one a mix of pasture and Winter ration of hay and silage
and finally one from hay and silage alone.

All three markedly different, all three indisputably Hafod.

We’ve focused in on one maker but it hasn’t made the task of blending more straightforward, rather it has highlighted the incredible variety and complexity to be found in cheese from one maker alone.

Like the infinite fractal nature of a coastline, every time we zoom in, things become more complex.

LIVING ON THE WEDGE

I got my hands on the brand new and I’m extremely chuffed to be a contributor to its inaugural edition alongside some of the great and the good of Planet Food and Drink!

It’s made of proper heavy paper too, that’s how you know it’s good 👌
