Cheese and milk
The Old Creamery inHartington is the centre ofPeak District cheeses. Ithas crafted traditionalBlue Stilton cheese since 1900. Known as the King of EnglishCheeses, it has a distinctive tangy taste.They also make strong-flavoured Buxton Blue and the more creamy Dovedale Blueas well as Shropshire Blue and White Stilton.
Look out for fresh local milk, butter and cream from the PeakDistrict Dairy at Tideswell.
Mouth-watering puddings
The Peak District is famous for Bakewell puddings. The originalVictorian Bakewell pudding emerged from a legendary accident.Todaycompeting ‘original recipes’ are tightly guarded secrets and puddings aremailed around the world. Local legend says French prisoners of warbrought the Ashbourne gingerbread recipe over during theNapoleonic Wars.
Lumpytums and Thor Cakes are more oat specialities. Lumpytumsare oatballs cooked in boiling milk, served with butter or treacle.A local rhymeclaims lumpytums give girls the rosiest cheeks and plumpest bums! Thor Cake isa traditional Bonfire Night treat with oats, black treacle, spices and dried fruit.
The Peak District climate and soils suitoats rather than wheat and mostfarmers grew some oats until the mid-1900s. So it’s no surprise thatoatcakes are a local speciality – softand flat like a pancake and eaten withsavoury or sweet fillings. Slim Staffordshire oatcakes or thickDerbyshire rounds: which are best? Try them and decide foryourself. Many cafés, pubs and guest houses offer them to you.
