Cheese Wisdom: Cheese wrapped in lemon curd
Cows’ milk cheese that is very crumbly
The Cheese: Honey Lemon Wensleydale from North Yorkshire, England
The Style: Pasteurized cows milk wrapped in a very lemony and beautiful yellow lemon curd
Flavor Profile: The cheese is a bit sharp. It is very young, and it crumbles as you cut into it. When you eat it with the very soft lemon wrap, the lemon curd cuts the sharp notes. It tasted like lemon cheesecake.
How to Enjoy: With fruit such as apple or d’Anjou pear, or sprinkled on a salad of winter greens like kale and mustard greens. Use it as a dessert with fresh raspberries and white chocolate.
Wine Pairings: Fruity reds, creamy white wine, Madeira.
Extra Reading: This is not a cheese you will eat everyday, but it is a refreshing, lovely addition to your cheese wisdom — and a great addition to a cheese tray.
Where to Purchase: Murray’s Cheese shop at Harris Teeter
Price: $23.99/lb.
