Shropshire Blue by Colston Bassett | Available in 2kg Wedge & 8kg Wheel
Experience the luxurious taste of Shropshire Blue, a unique and richly flavoured blue cheese crafted by the renowned Colston Bassett Dairy. Available in both 2kg wedges and 8kg whole wheels, this cheese is known for its vibrant orange hue and creamy texture, offering a delightful twist on traditional blue cheese.
About Shropshire Blue: Shropshire Blue is a distinct cheese that combines the creamy richness of a classic blue cheese with the tangy, slightly sharp notes that make it stand out. The cheese gets its bright orange colour from the addition of annatto, a natural colouring, which contrasts beautifully with the blue veining. Aged to perfection, this cheese delivers a well-balanced flavour with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.
Key Features:
- Rich & Creamy Flavour: Offers a well-rounded taste with a perfect balance of creaminess and tangy blue veins.
- Smooth, Creamy Texture: Ideal for slicing, spreading, or crumbling over your favourite dishes.
- Available Sizes: Choose from the 2kg wedge for everyday use or the 8kg wheel for larger gatherings and culinary needs.
- Artisanal Quality: Produced by Colston Bassett, a dairy celebrated for its traditional cheesemaking expertise and high-quality products.
Pairing Suggestions: Shropshire Blue pairs exceptionally well with fresh fruits like apples and figs, as well as with nuts and honey. It also complements a variety of wines, particularly sweet dessert wines like Port, or a crisp white wine for a delightful contrast. Use it to elevate your cheese board, or melt it into gourmet sauces and dishes.
Why Choose Shropshire Blue by Colston Bassett:
- Traditional Craftsmanship: Made using time-honoured methods, ensuring an authentic and rich taste.
- Versatile Use: Perfect for cheese boards, gourmet cooking, or simply enjoying on its own.
Colston Bassett’s Shropshire Blue is a must-have for any cheese lover. Whether you're a fan of blue cheese or looking to try something new, this cheese offers a rich, creamy, and satisfying experience in both wedge and wheel options.
