Lancashire Cheese Trails

Simple Lancashire cheese - eaten as often as possible: on its own, with a proper cuppa or, best of all, with Christmas fruit cake.

You really have to holiday up in the North West to discover the different forms and textures of Lancashire cheese, from young 'creamy' to 'crumbly' to the mature 'tasty' whichever is your favourite there'll be one to suit.
