In the Netherlands it's quite common to eat stinging nettle cheese. It's quite tasty. Fenugreek is another crowd favourite.

- ndsipa_pomu 1y agoOver here (England) we have Cornish Yarg that is cheese wrapped in nettles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_Yarg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_Yarg Apparently it's possible to make nettle rennet for coagulating milk into cheese, though it's not recommended for making aged cheeses.
- downut 1y agoBack in the early '80s we ate a lot of English nettle cheese that we bought in the Dekalb Farmers Market in Atlanta. It was delicious. I've watched but never found it in the US since. It looked like this: https://www.northumberlandcheese.co.uk/nettle-cheese https://www.northumberlandcheese.co.uk/nettle-cheese Wasn't expensive.

- downut 1y ago"Shop"? Ok, well, have you ever been in there? Because it might be the best market in Atlanta, right now. We just spent a 3 year sojourn in the Atlanta metro area and the Dekalb Farmers Market is one of the only things we will miss. Still the best reasonably priced beautiful cheese/dairy/seafood/charcuterie + a whole bunch of other stuff in N. Georgia. Now we're back West again and there is Lee Lee Oriental Market. No interesting cheese, but a lot of other things. Including charcuterie! If you go to the Dekalb Farmer's Market definitely look for nettle cheese.
- LunaSea 1y agoI think that by "shop" OP meant the actual British producer of said cheese.
- jamiecurle 1y agoyes by "shop" I did mean the place in Blagdon, Northumberland. I live right next to it two small towns down.
