British cows enjoy killer grass

Cheese-makers in England's West Country say that excellent grazing conditions last year are to thank for some of the great mature and vintage cheeses that are starting to appear in British markets. A cow's diet greatly affects the quality and flavor of the milk it produces and the characteristics of the milk are then amplified and concentrated in cheeses produced from it. A mild winter and a wet spring created New Zealand-like conditions, according to one Somerset cheese-maker quoted in Farmers Weekly. Another farmer from Devon said it was the best grazing year ever.
