Sussex Scrumpy
A very appealing looking cheese, but the first thing that hits you is its wonderful smell. Garlic, herbs and cider are added to the curd rather than mashed in and re-formed like many flavour added cheeses.
 Sussex Scrumpy Its paste is soft and somewhat sticky with bits of herb scattered throughout the pale yellow. A very pleasant cheese, with good strong Cheddary flavour enhanced by the herbs and garlic… …but, where’s the cider? Its name indicates that there should be the presence of cider, maybe apples, or perhaps a hint of fruitiness or alcohol, but there is none, which is disappointing. None the less, it is still a very enjoyable and interesting addition to any cheese board. |
