Notes: This was a flavorful cheese with a nice, moist paste on its own. BUT, then I melted it and spread it over fresh bread (which is what you are supposed to do with Lancashire cheese). It spread smoothly across the bread, forming a nice glaze. The nutty flavors were more pronounced after heating, providing a richer, smoother flavor overall.
