Had this the other day, and Urquell did not complement it well:

I still have about half the chunk left; any pairing recommendations?

Since it’s an English pub cheese try it with a good fresh English bitter.

Hops with that would be weird. Buttery Chardonay seems like it would be nice, I could see southern french working as well.

If only I had one nearby... and now, my 18 month old daughter has finished the last of the Cotswold. Hrmph. The closest thing I have in my fridge is London Pride.

Is this like Swedish Velveeta?




It’s the lowest common denominator shit tier harder cheese. It tastes nothing. There are awesome Swedish cheese makers, that is basically milk flavored plastic.

Best US equivalent is probably Kraft American singles. Bland, slightly sweet with a plastic-waxy texture.

Certainly didn’t work with Saaz! I wonder how well UK hops would work with it... might have to pick up some more in the near future.
