Can cheese bring tourists in?
If your town is struggling with the ways in which they are at the moment then perhaps a good old fashioned cheese festival is what is in order. Cardiff has it down.?
This is due to the fact that Britain’s biggest cheese festival was held in Cardiff this year. This year on the 26th and 27th of september one of the largest cheese festivals has just over 400 types of cheeses to try. Not only do you get the normal cow and goat cheese but also sheep as well as the unusual Buffalo cheese on top of it..
So everyone loves at least one form of cheese (unless of course you are lactose intolerant) which begs a question, how exactly is cheese made?
Well funnily enough it is actually produced by the coagulation of the milk protein known as casein. However, how are the different cheeses made to taste so different? Well obviously it depends on what animal you are using but also is dependant on the animal’s diet. As well as this, wood smoke, spices and herbs can be used as flavouring agents.
In the making of some cheeses acids like lemon juice are used.. Cheeses have been used for many years for so many different things. It has proven useful against famines and is very good travel food as it tends to last for a long time as well as providing plenty of protein, fat and of course calcium. Cheese can last a lot longer than milk which is partly why it is so much more useful. It is also cheaper to ship.
The cheese festival should actually be in within the grounds of Cardiff castle next year too so if you are interested why not take one of those nice family days out there and join in! UK family holidays is another way to experience Wales or any part of the United Kingdom if you are not into cheese.
