SPARKENHOE SHROPSHIRE BLUE 8KG

Leicestershire Handmade Cheese Co. Leicestershire

The UK’s only raw milk Shropshire Blue. Will Clarke makes this cheese to the same recipe as his Sparkenhoe Blue, but adds annatto to the milk, just as his parents do for their Sparkenhoe Red Leicester. This gives the cheese its glorious colour. The paste ranges from a blush, peach tone to a deeper hue next to the blue veins, as the curd begins to break down. The taste is buttery and mellow with a gentle spice to finish.
