Montgomery’s Cheddar (cheesy lover #100!)

A hard raw-milk cow’s cheese from Somerset, bought from Neals Yard Dairy.

It’s smattered with fissures of a powdery beige – these remind me of lunar craters, but are the work of the cheese mite. Cheese mites love cheddar!

Best of all, she sounded like she was having a tremendous time.
