Phil JonesGUEST
I mean, if I was serving these, my mates would kill me if they saw these now.

Annie GrayHOST
William the Conqueror encouraged monks to set up abbeys in England, and they brought with them new techniques for making consistently good quality cheese.
Annie GrayHOST
We might know Wensleydale today for its crumbly hard cheese, but its reputation for cheese was cemented from the 12th century with an enticingly soft, tangy product introduced by the monks.
Annie GrayHOST
After the dissolution of the monasteries, cheese-making was then adopted by the wider community.

One of the oldest cheeses in Normandy is Pont-l'Évêque.
Annie GrayHOST
It's one of tho- those washed-rind cheeses where you smell it, and you, you know about it.
Annie GrayHOST
But while the smell is slightly reminiscent of the farmyard, it's also slightly nutty.
Annie GrayHOST
This one's got a firmness to it, which approaches, I would say, a, a sort of Wensleydale or a Cheshire, something like that, and it's a really nice fresh-tasting cheese.
Annie GrayHOST
There is a certain pressure, says Caroline, because this is a fourth-generation farm, and there are only six producers of farmhouse Pont-l'Évêque left.
