Wheel Of Four-tune
The top cheese here is Katherine. Made in Somerset, this is a hard goat's cheese that has been washed in Somerset Cider Brandy. Under that is a Tunworth - a camembert made slightly out of our normal area in Hampshire... but after Raymond Blanc started saying how marvellous it was, we decided to bend the rules!
Sheep Rustler is another French-inspired cheese - it uses the 'washed rind' technique - but this ewe's milk cheese is firm, fruity and, with its orange rind, colourful. It sits on an Elmhirst brie - with added cream for extra luxury!
The
blue here is actually two cheeses from the same dairy. Half a wheel of Devon Blue (cow) is placed together with half a wheel of Harbourne Blue (goat) to make a complete wheel.
And finally we come to the level that provides the 'four' in this cake's name: four quarter-shaped pieces are pushed together to make a whole wheel for the base of the cake. And they're four beautifully contrasting hard cow's cheeses: Quicke's Mature Cheddar and Oak Smoked Cheddar, plus Smart's Double Gloucester and Cornish Yarg.
