Lancashire is a cheese available in several interesting varieties. The Lancashire that is mass produced has a pleasant and mild flavour, while
farmhouse Lancashire has a fuller and much more
robust taste.
All Lancashire cheeses have a hard and thin golden yellow rind, bearing marks left by the cheesecloth in which it was matured. Young Lancashire is often known as "Creamy Lancashire", as the cheese is very moist. Aged Lancashire becomes harder and sharper on the palate.
Most Lancashire cheeses have a fat content of 45%
