Blue Shropshire

A blue cheese from the United Kingdom. Shropshire Blue is one of the most striking blue-veined cheeses in existence. The warm orange color of the cheese body, combined with the blue-green mold veins, makes this British cheese a visual showstopper on any cheese board. But it's the flavor that really leaves an impression: creamy at the base, finishing with a distinctly bold, full-bodied aftertaste.

The semi-hard texture is firm enough to slice beautifully yet crumbles wonderfully when you break it apart. Made from pasteurized cow's milk and vegetarian-rennetted, this cheese suits a wide audience. Remarkably versatile: just as delicious on its own on a charcuterie and cheese board as it is melted into warm dishes.

Pairs well with: a glass of port, stout, or a full-bodied red Burgundy. Wonderful crumbled over a steak, stirred through a risotto, or served on a charcuterie and cheese board with walnuts and grapes. Combine it with the Stilton for a British blue-vein duo, or with the Blu'61 for a sweeter contrast.
