Well, we cut our first hard cheese - the Caerphilly. It was very edible, albiet a little salty. The rind went a little hard with mould spots but was completely edible.
Have spent the weekend making 2 camenberts. These will be matured over the next 4-5 weeks and hope that they will look nice and fluffy in time. With the excess whey, another round of ricotta was made.
Blackberry season is upon us, although a bit later than normal. I was presuaded by Alice to pick blackberries the other day whilst taking the sheep back down the road. They tend to be a little dusty, nothing a good wash can't solve. This lead onto:
- a 'Blackberry Smoothie' with banana, homemade yoghurt, honey and fresh cow's milk. Rather tasty.
- Homemade ice cream using our eggs collected and picked blackberries along with cream and chocolate chips. Haven't tried it out yet, but previous attempts in making it and eating it, I am sure it will be yummy.
