Loddiswell Avondale is an English cheese hailing from Devon, where it's produced by Bill and Jocelyn Martin. The cheese is made from raw goat's milk and it's left to age for 2 months before consumption. Underneath its washed rind, the texture is semi-soft, firm, and almost dry.
The aroma is goaty, while the flavors are sweet and reminiscent of almonds. It's recommended to pair Loddiswell Avondale with Chardonnay. The cheese won the British Cheese Award in 1994. Nowadays, there are varieties of the cheese flavored with garlic or parsley.
Harbourne Blue is an English cheese hailing from Totnes in Devon, where it's produced by Ticklemore Cheese Dairy. The cheese is made from pasteurized goat's milk. Underneath its natural rind, the texture is crumbly, close, dense, and creamy, often with very light blue veining.
The aromas are clean and floral with hints of yogurt, while the flavors are mild, spicy, and sweet but they vary in strength throughout the season. It's recommended to pair this semi-soft blue cheese with a glass of Port, Bordeaux, or Sauternes.
Vulscombe is an English cheese hailing from Tiverton. This rindless cheese is made from pasteurized goat's milk. The texture is soft and creamy, the aromas are goaty, rich, and herbaceous, while the flavors are mild, herbaceous, and slightly spicy.
Besides the plain version, Vulscombe also comes in a few versions flavored with herbs and garlic, black peppercorns, or herbs and sun-dried tomatoes. The herbs are freshly picked from the garden of Graham and Jo Townsend, the cheesemakers.
Ticklemore is an English cheese produced in South Devon. Made from goat's milk, this semi-hard cheese has a natural white rind that hides a crumbly, open, and firm-textured paste underneath. This cheese is hand-pressed into a colander, resulting in the shape of a flattened sphere.
At the end of production, the cheese is dry-salted and left to mature for 10 weeks. Ticklemore's aromas are mild, floral, fresh, grassy, and clean, while the flavors are lemony, mild yet complex, with hints of grass and mushrooms.
