than two dozen cheese makers are located across the country producing a wide range of cheeses produced from goat’s, cow’s and ewe’s milk. Many of these are small family run creameries in the highlands and islands where cows feast on a clover rich diet. Crowdie, often associated with the Hebrides, is a soft fresh cheese which is
made from the milk left after the cream has separated naturally. Seasonality is a real buzz word for foodies and chefs, but many people perhaps don’t realise that season can apply to cheese as well as fruit and vegetables. Whatever your taste in cheese whether it is on a simple sandwich, as a
topping for a pasta dish or as a wonderful souffl é it is a most versatile and healthy product which is very much part of Scotland’s staple diet.
