Incredible…
…the finest blue on the planet? Quite possibly. Consume, savour, consume. Repeat at will.

Best Blue Ever
This has exactly the right texture; Stilton is too crumbly, Gorgonzola is too gloopy. This is perfect. I have never tasted a better blue, and I’ve tasted a lot!

Possibly the best blue cheese I’ve ever tasted

Yummm
Texture of St Agur but with a stronger and more complex taste. Totally delicious.

Oozing with flavour
This is by far the best blue I have ever tasted! It was quite literally oozing with flavour and all round yumminess. This is not a cheese for the faint hearted / palleted.

Blue cheese bliss!
I don’t think sublime is too extreme a description of this cheese, blue cheese bliss! Wonderful texture, the right degree of tanginess & saltiness, beautiful flavour, could easily become a bit of an addiction.

Delicious
This cheese is deliciously scrumptious and should grace every Dinner Party cheese board. It’s very moreish. Indeed, the best blue cheese I’ve tasted…. We’ll be going back for more !!

Is this really a blue? I mean it’s got veins and colour and stuff but while it has a serious salt hit & is pure umami it has zero chalk, is totally amazing and approachable for those hesitant to go blue. Best blue I’ve had. Ever.
