[west country] blessed are the cheesemakers

England's West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers have put a webcam on maturing cheddar cheeses to let afficionados watch in real time the process of mould growth for a year.

"It puts watching paint dry in the shade," a company spokeswoman admits. The site, Cheddarvision, boasts 85,000 visits already.

Go to it rightly.

  1. Cheese is one of my weaknesses, I have a savoury rather than a sweet tooth. Now I wonder what Russian cheeses are like, I can't remember them.

  2. Will you sit watching it, WCL? Ellee, the cheeses are very nice, being natural and without compromise but they're not well known. There are a lot of imported cheeses - gouda, edam and maasdam are the most popular.

    I miss Stilton with mushrooms from over your way.
