Brits Buying More French Cheese
According to a post on ‘Talking Retail’ this week, imports of French cheese into the UK have overtaken Irish imports for the first time, making France the number one cheese importer to the UK.
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love a good cheese and there is such a wide choice available nowadays to suit all tastes, strong ones and milder ones which I prefer. Not only does France have a diverse range of cheeses, but so does the UK. There are some great British ones to be had too (I love Cornish Yarg).
As for French cheeses, I like a good goat’s cheese, ‘tomme’ (mountain cheese) and emmenthal, but am not so keen on camembert. When it comes to buying brie (in the UK), I often go for the ‘Somerset’ variety!
