Isle of Mull Cheddar is a cheese that I read about and have waited and lobbied for at the New Seasons cheese counter for several years. I have worked my way through about 1/3 of the Neal's Yard cheeses this way and there have only been a couple that just did not do it for me.
So far, the Isle of Mull Cheddar is my favourite of the Neal's Yard cheeses that I have tasted, Lincolnshire/Poacher is next, and Montgomery's Cheddar is third. The other cheeses that I have tasted from them have all been good, but just not worth the price.
Isle of Mull is a strong and sharp cheddar that is not quite as crumbly as it looks. I have been able to get whole slices that are about 1/8" thick with no problem. I enjoy this eating this cheese straight, with slices of tart apples, and in sandwiches with slices of a hot coppacolla.
Because of the small herd and varied grass, greens, and wild flower diet this cheese is supposed to have quite dramatic flavour changes from season to season. I hope the manager at the cheese counter will order this cheese a few more times this year so I can find out without paying a small fortune in shipping.
