Lancashire is an English cow's-milk cheese from the county of Lancashire. There are three distinct varieties of Lancashire cheese. Young ''Creamy Lancashire'' and mature ''Tasty Lancashire'' are produced by a traditional method, whereas ''Crumbly Lancashire'' (more commonly known as ''Lancashire Crumbly'' within Lancashire) is a more recent creation suitable for mass production. It is traditionally paired with Eccles cakes and Chorley cakes. ==Creamy Lancashire== For centuries, Lancashire dairy farmers' wives made cheese from surplus milk. On small farms there was insufficient milk from a single day to make a cheese, and so each day's milk was curdled and accumulated for several days until there was enough curd to make a cheese. Uniquely amongst all British cheeses, two or three days' curd of varying maturity are blended together, giving Lancashire cheese a distinctive character. The traditional method was standardised in the 1890s by Joseph Gornall of Garstang and Pilling, a county council employee, who visited many Lancashire farms to establish a method and recipe that is still used today – the "Gornall method".〔(British Cheese Board – Lancashire ), retrieved 13 December 2011〕〔(Creamy Lancashire Cheese Trail ), retrieved 15 July 2010〕 His "Gornall Patent Cheesemaker" was sold between 1892 and 1919.〔(Lancashire Pioneers: Joseph Gornall – Lancashire's "Mr Cheese" ) (on two pages), retrieved 20 July 2010〕 Creamy Lancashire cheese is made by this traditional method and matured for a period of four to twelve weeks. It has a fluffy texture and creamy flavour, and is good for toasting,〔 as it does not become stringy when melted. Beacon Fell Traditional Lancashire cheese is a Protected Designation of Origin name.
