Castle Blue

Castle Blue Deluxe is a luxurious British blue cheese with the rich, creamy character and distinctive blue veining associated with traditional Blue Stilton. Made from pasteurised cow’s milk and matured to develop its characteristic flavour, it has a smooth yet crumbly texture, with striking blue veins running through the pale ivory body.

On the palate, Castle Blue Deluxe offers a full, savoury flavour with a pleasant tang and a gentle salty note. Its creamy richness is balanced by the distinctive sharpness of the blue mould, creating a complex cheese that becomes increasingly rounded and flavoursome as it matures. The aroma is characteristically earthy and savoury, while the finish is long, creamy and pleasantly piquant.

The cheese is associated with Coombe Castle International, a British dairy exporter based in Melksham, Wiltshire.

Castle Blue is an excellent choice for a traditional cheeseboard and pairs particularly well with crisp crackers, oatcakes, walnuts, pears, figs and rich fruit chutneys. It also works beautifully crumbled over salads, melted into sauces, or served alongside steak and other hearty dishes.
