The cheese has a dense, crumbly, and firm texture; the aromas are earthy, while the flavor is spicy, smooth, and buttery. It is recommended to pair Devon Blue with a glass of cider.
Curworthy is an English cheese originating from Devon, where it has been made at Stockbeare Farm by Rachel Stephens since 1987. The cheese is made from cow's milk and has a natural rind. The aroma is fresh, the texture is creamy, supple, and open, while the flavors are creamy and buttery.
When aged, the cheese becomes full-flavored and mellow. There is a range of Curworthy cheeses, and the most popular one is called Devon Oke. The cheeses can be found in specialist cheese shops, delicatessens, and local farmers markets.
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.
