James names cheese after New Order track

Blur bassist-turned-farmer Alex James has named his latest cheese after a New Order song.

According to the Gloucestershire Echo, James's new dairy product will be named Blue Monday after the Manchester group's 1983 dance hit.

James and his neighbour Juliet Harbutt recently took home the Best Goat's Cheese title for their Farleigh Wallop at the British Cheese Awards.

James said: "Our first goat cheeses, Little Wallop and Farleigh Wallop, are little niche cheeses, not a big hit single as we hope Blue Monday will be."

Harbutt added: "Most people would take 18 months to two years to release a new cheese but Blue Monday came through. It's a moist cheese, gooey, spicy with quite a mellow flavour with sweet notes."
