Anne-Maries Davis (veritable Cheese Mistress of Bath - Her cheese shop in Bath is to die for and make the most brilliant sandwiches and home-made patiseries) has this to say about this cheese:
"I've been eating this cheese (pictured above) for the best part of 20 years. It's made in Bath in Timsbury and was invented by a fascinating woman called Mary, Horbrook who used to be the curator at Holburne Museum. Her husband was a farmer whose tenant gave back some land and some animals, and Mary thought she'd have a crack at making cheese - only to find that she was a natural. I think it was her role as a curator which meant that she was intensely fascinated by how things are made and she travelled widely in Europe to discover more about making cheese. She inspired a whole generation of cheesemakers to make a pecorino style cheese and has set a standard for goats' cheese. This is one of those cheeses that the French think is one of their own when they taste it. It's a rich, creamy, developed goats' cheese with no taste of the farmyard that makes you proud to be British!" (Extract from Food Issue 1 Sep-Oct 2007) www.food-mag.co.uk
