Pilgrims Choice Cheddar

Pilgrims Choice cheese may be exported all over the world but it is produced at North Down dairies in Wincanton, Somerset. It doesn't seem all that long ago that I was writing a review and harping on about the price of good quality cheese, since then nearly every major supermarket has offered very good promotions on popular brands of cheese including Pilgrims choice. Good hard cheddar is one of the only cheeses that I can really enjoy, I like my cheddar to be either mature or extra mature and I especially like it to have a semi-crumbly texture. This means that when you put the cheese knife into the block it starts to fall apart.. Cheese is very much like ...  Read the complete review

I'm not really that choosy when it comes to shopping for my Cheddar, and will happily pick out anything which happens to be on sale in the local supermarket. This week it was the turn of 'Pilgrim's Choice Mature Everyday', which has a normal, non-sale price of £3.62 for the 400g size. Pilgrim's Choice claim to let their cheeses mature for over nine-months, and doing so apparently results in a deliciously smooth flavour - but is this really the case? The cheese comes in a blue, re-sealable packet, which is handy as you don't have to worry about putting the block in an extra sandwich bag to preserve freshness. In terms of the taste, ...  Read the complete review

As summer has not been the most brilliant for weather, last night we all decided to choose a quick meal that we all enjoyed but to cook it properly with very nice ingredients. After much deliberation, we chose to prepare jacket potatoes with cheese and beans, hardly worthy of a Michelin star, but when cooked and prepared well we all think it is delicious!

Cheese varies so much in price ...  Read the complete review

When I went to reception at work last week to get a Tippex Mouse, the slightly crazy receptionist made me promise I 'had some cheese' so the tippex mouse would not starve. Nodding and backing out of the room slowly, it got me thinking- I had to buy some cheese anyway on my way home as the fridge was dangerously verging on being cheese-free. With my staple diet being cheese, crackers and chocolate- I could not let this happen. Plus I had the mouse to think about. Stopping off at the co-op on route home, I was pleased to see they had Pilgrims Choice "Mature Everyday: Tasty, Smooth and Satisfying" Cheddar on offer: 2 what seem like huge ...  Read the complete review
