Best Blue….quite possibly
Creamy with a tangy punch. Both husband and daughter proclaimed it was the best blue ever!

I want to give this more stars! Quite simply the best blue ever! Soft but deep and tangy with none of the harshness or saltiness associated with some other blues. I am now spoiled forever, as no other blue matches it.

Hubby is going to be over the moon with his haul of cheeses for Father’s Day.
Blue Monday is his favourite blue so I’m sure he’ll be extremely happy with his gifts.
Thanks again for getting it here in time. 🙂
