I went to a great cheese and wine evening last night and discovered a new cheese that I had not tried before - Petit Basque. It is really rather good and bizarrely tastes of caramel - well Caramac chocolate to be precise (haven't seen that in ages and wonder if they still sell it anywhere?) Washed down with a glass of full bodied red wine or port this cheese would make a perfect end to a dinner party! Definitely worth trying....must ask Ben his view on it!Friday 13 April 2007

Another cheese that tastes of caramel is reindeer cheese from Norway but a small piece goes a very long way. Worth trying for its novelty value.
You were my favourite on Masterchef, Hannah, and this has become one of my favourite blogs - thank you for all the pleasure you've given me so far, and I look forward to more goodies to come!
yes you can still buy caramac chocolate, i do, every so often, for the memories if nothing else. Look for small, independent shops rather than the big stores :)
Le bonjour de la France
My fiance and i were also at the cheese and wine evening you spoke of. Really good evening and we both agree its a gorgeous cheese. Our favourite was the Cantal - a strong, creamy french cheddar.
I bought a Caramac today from some little known outlet called Tesco's
