This mature and mellow blue cheese from central UK is somewhat distinct from other blues, with a firmer, more crumbly texture.
Made in a similar way to Stilton, Shropshire Blue is a creamy blue veined cheese with a mellower flavour than Stilton and a slightly tangy aroma. The addition of annatto, a natural vegetable dye, gives the cheese its distinctive colour and earthy flavour. Shropshire Blue matures for a period of ten to twelve weeks.
It is excellent on the cheese-board and is also very versatile in the kitchen; it makes fabulous soups and sauces.
Similar to Stilton, Shropshire blue cheese pairs well with sweet white wines like Riesling, Gewurtztraminer, Semillon, or a good English brown ale or fortified wines like sherry, port.
