It’ll be much softer and richer when it’s warmed up a bit.
I've got a wedge of this Cornish Blue on the go at the moment and would recommend for beginners. The blueness is pretty discreet.
all cheese should be eaten at room temperature. you lose half the flavour if it's straight from the fridge

Yes I let the Stilton come to room temp and it did taste better!

This is lovely too - goes through several stages of ripeness:

Clams on the half shell, and roller skates.
When it comes to cheese it must be room temperature and unpasteurised for the full flavour, anything else is a compromise.

Lavender doesn’t belong in food. It’ll taste like soap.I'm waiting for platinumsage to try the lavender gouda and report back.
I once had a lavender beer at a micro brewery. It was vile.

There's a place near here that does a rather nice nettle gouda. But they don't make a blue cheese, and are therefore off-topicI'm waiting for platinumsage to try the lavender gouda and report back.
I've had chocolates flavoured with lavender that have been nice, but I'm not sure it's a savoury ingredient

I've had a very nice lavender chocolate. The lavender hint needs to be extremely subtle.

I think amounts matter too. As in, the less the better.

Although, even then, I think given the choice between lavender chocolate and no chocolate, I’d choose no chocolate.
I used to like Parma violets though.

I had some the other day - still lovely. You should buy some to reassure yourself that they're still nice.

Yes, it's the sweet mecca. I have no idea if they do factory tours or have a factory shop but it would be nice if they did.
They do brilliant sweets - I always have some in.
