Step back in time as we delve into the artisanal world of a rural English soft cheesemaker at Mollington Grange Farm, Chester. Queen Elizabeth II once graced this humble abode with her presence, witnessing the timeless process of cheese production. This craft, depicted in a 14th-century miniature from Tacuinum Sanitatis, remains unchanged. A cheesemaker meticulously fills moulds, mirroring the ancient technique. In contrast, a Swiss cheesemaker stirs a large vat, creating a distinct texture. Both processes culminate in the drying room, where Edam and other cheeses mature, transforming into delectable delights. Each bite is a testament to tradition and passion, a culinary journey through the ages.
