• LGC103 - Dan Leighton, from Extinct Cheeses to Medieval Re-enactments
    Jan 16 2024

    During a consultation session, Dan contacted me in 2023 to ask about making cheeses from the medieval period.  This piqued my interest, so I invited him onto the podcast to discuss his interest in reviving extinct UK cheeses and making cheese during medieval re-enactments.
