#25 The Cheese Board-Sussex Slipcote Traditional Cache
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.

Full description at #1 and #28
SUSSEX SLIPCOTE is a fresh, vegetarian cheese made from ewe's milk in West Sussex. The cheese is usually round in shape with a very soft texture.
There are two different explanations given for the meaning of "slipcote". "‘Slipcote’ is an old English word meaning little (slip) piece of cottage (cote) cheese."
Another explanation is that "slipcote" describes the cheese's tendency to slip out of its rind while maturing.
Sussex Slipcote has been made in England since the Middle Ages, as described in Law's Grocers' Manual.
The cheese won a Bronze award in the British Cheese Awards in 2008.
