Well, I experienced another sensational new taste combination I hadn’t tried before, while I was in St Petersburg for Zenith’s Global Dairy Congress.
Russian food has improved immeasurably since I first travelled there 40 years ago. I especially enjoyed the pancake snacks and some very tender fish.
My new discovery, appropriately for a dairy week, came with a selection of cheeses for dessert. In the middle of my plate was a small bowl of honey. It was a treat, even with blue cheese. And it beats jam, which is also becoming increasingly popular as a cheese accompaniment. In fact, cheese is breaking into all kinds of new sweet dessert territory.
Another product I enjoyed more than I expected was a chocolate-coated cottage cheese snack bar from dairy giant Wimm-Bill-Dann. What would the Danish government say to that?
