KESWICK: What I like about the Keswick stand is that they have such a huge range of cheeses. Cheddar, Calverley, Wallaby, Vachino Bianca, Bovre, Tomme Sweet Tomme , Carrock. Some are Jersey cow, some are a mix of Jersey and goat Sample them all. I love to rave about their Mozzarella because it is so creamy, so much like the real Italian buffalo Mozzarella. And if you love yogurt, be sure to check this. Pimento Cheese is top of mind because I saw a fabulous Pimento Kimcheese burger picture. Chileheads, alert. I was eating Dragon's Breath last month -- hot cheese!
