On my way to The Depot Eatery at Kelham Island I came across a cheese maker, Sheffield Cheese Masters.
I looked in, then headed to The Depot Bakery for late lunch and a coffee, with a promise I would be back.
When I looked in earlier they were preparing experimental blue cheeses. Now gone.
I raise the same issue of cleanliness that I had thought of in The Depot Eatery, how to keep clean in a warehouse? They have built a sealed unit within the warehouse.
The girl I talk to knows little about cheese. She apologises and explains she is new and has only been there a few weeks.
I recommend she reads Reinventing the Wheel, excellent book on all aspects of cheese.
She offers me a sample of their cheese. It reminds me of Cornish Brie. She tells me it is a Camembert style cheese.
Not made from unpasteurised milk. A big mistake if trying to produce quality cheese. But nevertheless an excellent cheese. Would be even better if made from unpasteurised milk.
The cheese has a sticker Gold Winner 2019 Great Yorkshire Show. Of what merit I do not know, but cannot be worse than the meaningless Great Taste Awards.
I ask of of the cows. She does no know, other than the farm local and claims the cows are grass fed.
Sheffield Cheese Masters the only cheese maker in Sheffield.
