Five Counties is a combination of five English cheeses: Cheddar, Cheshire, Derby, Double Gloucester and Red Leicester. The five types of cheese are combined in alternating layers alternated in layers of yellow/orange and white.
"Five Counties" is manufactured by the Ilchester Cheese Company and is a registered trade mark of that company.
A similar cheese combination is marketed by Coombe Castle International as Saxon Shire or Saxon Shires.
Famous quotes containing the word cheese:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
