Cheese from Peebles, a spread (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bel paese

'cheese' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'peebles a spread' is the wordplay.
'spread' indicates an anagram.
'peebles'+'a'='peeblesa'
'peeblesa' with letters rearranged gives 'BEL PAESE'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bel paese that I've seen before include "Cheese from the beautiful country" , "Creamy Italian cheese" , "Be asleep (anag) - Italian cheese" , "Mild semi-soft Italian cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
