Wensleydale cheese with Mince pie fruits with brandy

The base cheese is smooth creamy, semi- hard. The flavour is impressive, there are a lot pieces of orange, lemon and dark whole raisins, and a hint of nice cinnamon and brandy spice too. The warmth from the brandy made this the perfect winter cheese. The fruit and brandy added a lovely contrast and worked well with the flavour.
