#29 The Cheese Board-Ashdown Forrester 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This cache has been archived.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.

Full description at #1

ASHDOWN FORRESTER takes its name from the Ashdown Forest, a large area of heathland in the High Weald of Sussex, made famous by AA Milne and Winnie the Pooh.
It is an un-pressed cheese, quite firm, with a slightly open texture and has an attractive shape with its basket weave pattern on its surface. Medium in strength, it is a rounded cheese, with a sharp, buttery character and slight saltiness, but with savoury and lemon back notes.
Ashdown Forester takes 8 hours to make, but 3 months to mature, in carefully controlled conditions.
There are both an organic and Oak Smoked versions available
