Long Clawson Shropshire Blue Cheese

This is one gorgeous cheese. Bright yellow with an exquisite marbling of blue - see if you can get past the sight to enjoy its deliciousness! Originally made by a cheesemaker trained on Blue Stilton production, this variation will easily win over Stilton lovers. The cheese has a well-balanced subtle “blue” flavor, with earthy notes created by the natural rind. Smooth and dense, yet crumbly along the blue veins, it’s perfect for after dinner with port or dessert wine. It’s divine with dried fruits and sweets like chocolate, or on a cheese plate or classic Ploughman’s lunch. It’s particularly nice for cooking as the color jumps right off the plate, adding a pop of color to any dish.

Cheesemonger's Note: Shrophshire's natural mold rind is brown, fragrant, and can be sticky with spots of white and grey mold.
