Saturday 21st September’s Big Market Day sees the second Big Cheese Festival in Retford. Everyone we speak to seems to love cheese – so many different tastes and varieties and something to suit everyone. There are now lots of plant-based alternatives available as well. If any retailer in Retford is selling vegan cheese, please let Retford Business Forum know at chair@retfordbusinessforum.org.uk.
So, what about dairy-based cheese? Hundreds of types of cheese from various countries are produced. There is no conclusive evidence indicating where cheesemaking originated, but the practice had spread widely within Europe and had become a sophisticated enterprise by the time the Roman Empire came into existence.
Goddard and Page, the excellent purveyors of quality cheeses on Retford Market, have bought a new van… much like the old van, but they still have the same range of great cheeses and are well worth a visit.
