ファウラーズ・セージ・ダービー
淡い黄色の身が特徴のソフトなチーズ。ほのかなセージの香り。
Derby is one of the oldest and most famous of English cheeses. The practice of adding finely chopped sage, which was thought at the time to have health-giving properties, to the fresh curd began in the 17th century, and while most Sage Derby cheese today is factory produced, this little beauty is still made the traditional way by the family producer of Fowlers, in Earlswood. Softer than cheddar, this pale yellow cheese has a melted butter taste, and has a lovely subtle herbal flavour imparted by the sage as the cheese ages.
