Cheese of the Month - No 16



Garstang White - a new cheese for Lancashire



I am really pleased to be able to feature a new Lancashire cheese, fortunately for us we were one of the first people in the country to taste Garstang White by Dewlay as Mr LF was photographing the cheese.

Garstang White is made in Lancashire and is made with creamy rich Jersey milk, mold ripened like a brie this cheese perfectly fits a gap in the market for a locally produced creamy oozy versatile cheese which is ideal for cooking or melting.



The cheese is available in 225g packs or in deli wheels of 1kg for slicing, the cheese matures in the same way as a brie and becomes increasingly more flavourful and oozy as the cheese matures. Dewlay are currently struggling to keep with the initial high demand as Garstang White is proving a popular addition to the Lancashire Cheese board and in now featured on various local restaurants menus.

Currently available from Dewlays cheese shop and various selected independent cheese shops ( I know Pats Cheese stall in Chorley has it) in the region, given its popularity I am sure Booths will also be stocking soon.

Cheese of the Month

Lancashire Food has decided that as inspiration to encourage you to buy more British Cheese and to try something different, we are starting a monthly cheese club. We are really pleased to support local producers and we hope tempt you to buy more British Cheese.







We have a lovely logo too, kindly designed by Mr Lancashire Food also know as Sixes and Seven design house. 

So every time we are buying cheese we will attempt to purchase something we haven't tried before and blog about it, of course keeping it from within the UK, I am going to try were possible to feature Lancashire Cheese's too. Its also really important that if at all possible that you purchase your cheese from independent cheese shops, market stalls, cheesemongers and deli's, outlets such as these are much more likely to have a better selection of artisan local cheeses and know the provenance of their stock. Luckily near to me I also have the wonderful regional supermarket chain Booths who are also great supporters of British cheese, other favourites are Liverpool Cheese, Pats Cheese stall on Chorley Market and The Cheese Shop @ Botany Bay.

Its a great place for both your regular shop as you will find all the artisan producers and retailers all under one roof. There is a butcher, baker, fishmonger, cheese shop, delicatessen  wine and beer shop, ice cream parlour, chocolaterie, amongst others all creating and selling fabulous produce, a lot of it local too.

Please pay them all a visit and support your local independents, it nice to be able to chat to knowledgeable people who are passionate about they are selling and may be even sample the wares too !

Spiral Pasta with tasty creations Lancashire cheese sauce, mushrooms and parma ham



Recently here at Lancashire Food, we were approached by Tasty Creations a local company who produces ready made luxury cheese sauces from great local produce to sample their sauces. 

Tastycreations is small specialist food company based in the North West and they produce a range of premium cheese sauces using some of the excellent award winning local and British produced cheeses and specialist food ingredients. They buy their cheeses and milk from Lancashire and Cheshire, herbs from Yorkshire, onions from Lancashire, stock from Cheshire and their packaging is made in the UK. In the Lancashire Cheese sauce they use award winning DEWLAY Tasty Lancashire cheese. 



Having worked in the food industry for many years, Steven uses his culinary skills and knowledge of the specialist food and drink industry to produce a delicious selection of cheese sauces that are both convenient and versatile to use.

The sauces can be poured hot on top of chicken, fish, meat, pork, vegetables, potatoes or use as a cooking sauce to make a fish pie, pasta, lasagne, quiche, soufflé or use it as a dip. The chilled sauces  take two minutes to re-heat and can also be frozen for up to three months. They have also won a Great Taste Gold award in 2012.

We have chosen to use the sauces in a couple of recipes but they would also be great alongside a steak in the case of the Garstang Blue sauce , simple fish or grilled chicken and I am sure your cauliflower cheese would be enhanced by one of these fine sauces.

Our favourite was the "Lancashire Cheese Sauce" of course, in which you could really taste the Lancashire cheese l, this was a great base sauce for this pasta dish.



Ingredients 
  • 1 pot of Tasty Creations Lancashire Cheese Sauce
  • Fusilli pasta - suitable quantity for the number of portions you are making
  • Mushrooms - thinly sliced
  • Prosciutto or parma ham - finely sliced
  • Parmesan cheese to serve

Method
