Caerphilly _Wales and England--Devon, Dorset, Somerset & Wilshire_ Semihard; whole fresh milk; takes three weeks to ripen. Also sold "green," young and innocent, at the age of ten to eleven days when weighing about that many pounds. Since it has little keeping qualities it should be eaten quickly. Welsh miners eat a lot of it, think it specially suited to their needs, because it is easily digested and does not produce so much heat in the body as long-keeping cheeses. Caillebottes (Curds) _France--Anjou, Poitou, Saintonge & Vendée_ Soft, creamy, sweetened fresh or sour milk clabbered with chardonnette, wild artichoke seed, over slow fire. Cut in lozenges and served cold not two hours after cooking. Smooth, mellow and aromatic. A high type of this unusual cheese is Jonchée (_see_). Other cheeses are made with vegetable rennet, some from similar thistle or cardoon juice, especially in Portugal. Caille de Poitiers _see_ Petits pots. Caille de Habas _Gascony, France_ Clabbered or clotted sheep milk. Cajassou _Périgord, France_ |
