Ossau Iraty
French Food FreaksShow Thumbnails
4 of 11
Produced by Fromagerie Agour, this nutty cheese has just been crowned world champion at the 2011 World Cheese Awards. Made with sheep's milk, a cheese like this deserves centre stage on your cheeseboard, and goes brilliantly with nuts, fruit and port.
Ossau Iraty is available online from French Food Freaks.

I suppose all the comments on here are bound to be personal opinion but frankly , the above cheeses are sadly lacking .
My perfect cheese board has a Somerset Brie , A Shropshire Blue , A Lancashire Creamy, a Cheshire Red, A cotswold cheese , A Wensleydale with Cranberry, An Inkeeepr's Choice and A Stilton with Apricot
This cheese board actually caters for all tastes in cheeses from Blue to fruity cheeses, soft to flavoured.

Where is the Cheshire?
Stinker?

and please please stop destroying the flavours with cranberries raisins and other stuffs in the cheeses
buy original flavours and add a nice chutney to your cheese
or try some quince fruit purée with your artisan cheddar and the flavours gonna blow your mind
try different flavoured crackers biscuits for cheese
check the selection in your local delicatessen, don't say you got to leave your wallet on the cheese counter every day but occasions such as Christmas deserves a quality treat
and
full of respect of the knowledge of the British Cheeseboard but please please do not say that mass production plastic vacuum-packed cheddar taste and represent the same quality like Artisan Cheddars!

Cashel blue is a lovely Irish blue cheese, it's softer than Stilton. Regrettably, I've just had the last of it. Picos Blue is my fave blue though, I like the smelly rind just under the leaves best. The nicest soft cheeses, in my view, are Epoisse, St Felicien and Vacherin. As things are so difficult here, maybe you Stilton lovers have been right all along to buy British and help our farmers.
I really cannot eat Stinking Bishop though.
