I have not, in the last ten years, met an imported cheese in the UK that hadn't been frozen for transport. This kills it. I've even seen posters in supermarkets suggesting that Brie _should_ have a chalky stripe down the centre. I get all my special cheese directly from the shops in Calais; the French either don't have the same regulations or don't bother to follow them. Roger
