    as a french (lover of our french cheese) i was a bit in mode "what? an english brie???"
    but after 2-3 minutes of seeing the master cheesemaker operate his art i am in a completely different state of mind!
    he is not trying to copy a brie from france!
    he is on the manufacture of a 100% english cheese with all his skills and all his art

      There's no point trying to compete with a French brie, it's already been perfected by the French. There's too much fantastic brie already so it would be impossible for a small english farm to try and compete with already established brie makers.

      If there is one thing we in the UK share with our French cousins it is a love of good cheese. It pleases me that you were impressed, for myself I am happy to eat any cheese that is made mindfully, with love and with good, grass-fed milk.
      Bonne année!

      Isn't raw milk a treat? We have a farm nearby that sells unpasteurised milk and it is so good.

    • @claudia-romeo
      @claudia-romeo  3 дні тому +1

      @@davidpaylor5666 It depends on the size of the farm and the quality of the milk. The bigger the chain, the more dangers there are because the products move a lot before getting to the consumer. That's why raw milk is usually sold by small farms as opposed to big industrial dairies. Every farm should have information on their website/at the counter about the tests they do to mark their product as safe. I hope this helps!

Your videos are such an education for us cheese lovers in particular that have no idea how it's made but fascinated once we see it explained in such an entertaining fashion! Hope you have a wonderful Holiday Claudia!

    Wonderful. Thank you for making this and all the other wonderful videos Claudia. And Johnny, if you are reading this, hats off to you!! We need more cheese and more types of cheeses in the world that come from people who put their soul into their work. I am in the US so I can't try it, but I made cheese yesterday and tried to follow in spirit. I just had to try the hand ladling technique with my own improvised pelle a brie. My appreciation and gratitude all around.

    I’ve made Camembert here in Canada. I got raw milk from some Amish friends, the cultures and molds from the internet. The first ones weren’t great, mainly texture problems. Definitely a learning curve. I never made more than a couple gallons worth at a time. Had enough to give away. Really good with local honey.

I wish I was coming to the UK soon but alas I am stuck on the cold North East Coast of the US for a while... that cheese made MY MOUTH WATER when you both took that first bite-Brits should be super exited they have such amazing products being created!!!!! Happy New Year to you, your crew, and the folks at Fen Farm Dairy.

    About 40 years ago the British Milk Marketing Board encouraged the production of a cheese to compete with Brie. It was called Lymeswold and was heavily marketed. However, it didn’t prove popular and production stopped in the early 90s. This looks like a more genuine product and I hope it succeeds.

      Their prices vary depending on the size of cheese you're getting but they start at £8 for a 180g wedge.
