Cheese in the news! Lots of readers write in to ask why there isn’t more cheese news in this blog. Well, this one’s for you.
First, we have a photo of a bunch of people chasing cheese down a hill in New Zealand. That’s really what they’re doing. According the event’s Website, the winner gets the cheese and a helicopter ride.
Then, from London, news that some cheesemakers have turned a web camera on a rack of their maturing cheddar cheeses to give aficionados a chance to watch the slow process of mold growth for a whole year, without having to leave home.
Come to think of it, if you spend that much time watching a Website, mold will probably grow on you, too… Click here for cheddarvision, and here for our story:
