Looking for an artisan feta some years ago, I splashed out on a some goats cheese at a local market. But quickly lost interest as it had a distinctly unpleasant taste and have avoided the stuff ever since.
Up until I stopped at the Nut Knowle Farm stall at the Chichesters Farmers Market where I was very pleasantly surprised after sampling the different cheeses on offer. I also discovered that rather than being a goats cheese, feta was originally made from sheeps milk.
They range from a soft and mild roll, through to mature, mould encrusted varieties that pack a punch. As well as a full range of herbed and different flavoured cheeses in between.
The Farmers market operates the first and third Friday of the month and is well worth browsing around.
Had a good look for them but don’t think they were there. Do you know where they can be found?
The farm is the other side of Lewes. Try contacting them off their site http://nutknowlefarm.co.uk
I enjoy their Little Garlic which is anything but. Haven’t seen them for a while though.
