John Bourne’s Blue Cheshire

Blue Cheshire cheese is perhaps the oldest recorded cheese in the history of the United Kingdom. John Bourne’s Blue Cheshire cheese is almost certainly the rarest of all the differing options of Cheshire cheese available. Because only one farm is still making the traditional Blue Cheshire Cheese and that is; John Bourne.

The taste of Blue Cheshire cheese is quite unlike any other blue cheese with an almost dry salty tang that will linger on the tongue for many minutes. The delicate veining adds an extra taste dimension that can be described as almost earthy but certainly not unpleasant and almost bordering on to a rich and tangy flavour. The paste of the cheese is a rich creamy yellow that contrasts perfectly with the pale blue veining throughout the cheese.
