Mr Graben. I have 2 bits of good news for you. 30 Kg of Rachel will be heading to London later this week for me to collect next Tuesday and bring over. There is no market at the HB next week but I will be showcasing the said fermented curd at the Gourmesse exhibition in Zurich. Pete the cheese will also be sending some samples of his other 15 cheeses to taste, mostly goat.

Secondly, Rachel won Gold medal for best Semi Soft cheese at last weekends British cheese festival in Cardiff Castle. The full list of prize winners are on this PDF

There were 884 entries from 189 cheesemakers, representing about 70% of the industry. I will be going next year and will be organising a trip for up to 10 cheese lovers from Switzerland to visit the event on the Friday trade only day, Saturday and Sunday are packed with the public.
