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:
“A cheese may disappoint. It may be dull, it may be naive, it may be oversophisticated. Yet it remains cheese, milks leap toward immortality.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
