#10 The Cheese Board-Lancashire Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

UGGY: Time for this series to go and free up some space for new hides. After almost 9 years most of the cheese has been nibbled and the rest has gone mouldy so no longer very appetising. Thanks to all who visited The Cheese Board.

Geocache Description:

Series of 37 assorted straightforward caches around Thirsk, Sowerby and Carlton Miniott, loosely based on the contents of a cheese board. A fairly easy 9 ish miles, starting and finishing at the railway station. Full description at #1 Please replace well tucked away as this has been muggled a little to often.

LANCASHIRE-For centuries, Lancashire dairy farmers' wives have made cheese from surplus milk. On small farms there was insufficient milk from a single day to make a cheese, and so each day's milk was curdled and accumulated for several days until there was enough curd to make a cheese. Uniquely amongst all British cheeses, two or three days' curd of varying maturity are blended together, giving Lancashire cheese a distinctive character. The traditional method was standardised in the 1890s. Creamy Lancashire cheese is made by this traditional method and matured for a period of four to twelve weeks. It has a fluffy texture and creamy flavour, and is good for toasting, as it does not become stringy when melted. Please be muggle aware and replace carefully.
