I can heartily recommend the Red Devil, and Black Bomber.  Lots of varieties here.

I would be, but I don't really like soft cheeses.

Too salty...  :cry:
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 04, 2010, 18:41
Really?  I would never even have thought of salt being in cheese. 
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!

Cheese is very salty, sadly. The rest is fat. :( There are some reasonable low fat, low salt, cheeses around, but they are few and far apart.

That's a shame.   :(
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 04, 2010, 18:51
It's much more than that. ;D
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 04, 2010, 19:07
Indeed.  These cheeses are really, really nice.  :devil:

Ah shaddup.  ;D

I love the seriously strong cheddar which thankfully seems to be on offer most of the time these days.    8-)

Is it called Samson?
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 10:47
Have to admit, this could be quite dangerous, as they are much nicer than supermarket pre-packed cheeses.
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 10:54
Not to mention expensive...
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 11:04
No more than DR are for meat.
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 11:15
Ah, but meat and cheese together... Now I'm feeling hungry.  ;D
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 11:33
Now, I can imagine a DR burger, with Red Devil cheese, would be something else!  :D
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 11:39
Yup... Gimme, gimme. ;)
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 11:53
Would it be worth emailing the company, to enquire as to the salt content?
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 11:55
It might, most people don't reply when I ask, though. Apparently, determining salt content is expensive, so only larger companies do it.
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 11:56
I guess it's not quite so critical with most people.
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 12:01
I've asked, there's four there I fancy.

Oooh!  :thumb:

So much good food out there, so little time to try it all. :)
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 12:22
So, what have you ordered?
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 12:24
Nothing as yet. If they can give me salt content, we can make a judgement on whether we can use it.
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 12:33
Ah, sorry, I thought they already had, from what you said.
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 12:33
No, I was thinking of all the sausages, ham and pasties. ;D
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 12:42
I guess you could call them.
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 12:43
I used the contact form. I left out bacon and smoked salmon, btw. :)
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 12:59
Ah, this is British Fine Foods?  Would the Snowdonia site be better to ask about the cheeses, seeing as they make them?
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 13:00
By the way, I never use contact forms, as I've found they rarely get responded to, IDNet being no exception.
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 13:03
;D

I find it a useful measure of the company in the first instance.
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 13:06
Possibly, but I'm glad I didn't use it as a measure for IDNet.  ;)
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 13:13
Me too. Communications don't seem good in most companies these days, and contact forms are often the weakest element. They really should put more effort in.
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Simon on March 05, 2010, 13:14
In other words, a non-response shouldn't necessarily put one off.  :)
Title: Re: Like cheese? You'll love these!
Post by: Rik on March 05, 2010, 13:17
It never has yet. Unless I'm asking for a refund, of course. ;)
