The unique properties of Shropshire Blue
Shropshire Blue is an English cheese that immediately catches the eye. What makes this cheese so special is the fantastic contrast between the warm orange-brown dairy and the bright, blue veins that cross the cheese. The striking orange color is obtained in a 100 percent natural way by adding annatto, a vegetable extract from the seeds of the achiote tree.
The taste of Shropshire Blue is often compared to the famous Blue Stilton, but is just a little milder, sweeter and creamier. The Penicillium roqueforti blue mold culture gives the cheese a characteristic savory and slightly spicy taste, while the soft texture ensures that it almost melts on the tongue. In addition, the cheese is completely curdled with vegetarian rennet, which makes it perfectly suitable for vegetarians.
Freshly cut for an optimal taste experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we stand for craftsmanship and absolute freshness. We only cut your Shropshire Blue fresh from the large cheese block as soon as we receive your order. Immediately after cutting, we pack your piece of cheese tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the delicate and creamy structure of this blue cheese during transport, we always add a cooling pack to your order. As a result, you are guaranteed a top-quality fresh product that you can keep unopened in the refrigerator for weeks.
Frequently asked questions about Shropshire Blue
What is the difference between Shropshire Blue and Blue Stilton?
Both are fantastic English blue cheeses, but they differ in taste and appearance. Shropshire Blue contains annatto, which provides the characteristic orange color. In terms of taste, Shropshire Blue is often slightly creamier, softer and a little sweeter than the somewhat more robust and spicy Blue Stilton.
Is this blue cheese suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, absolutely! Our Shropshire Blue is exclusively made with vegetarian rennet. No animal rennet is used, allowing vegetarians to enjoy this delicious cheese carefree.
What is the best way to serve this cheese?
Thanks to its beautiful colors, it is an absolute star on any cheese board. Serve the cheese with some neutral crackers, sweet figs or honey to balance the salty and savory character. A glass of Port or a dark specialty beer makes the taste experience complete.
Do you also sell other English cheeses?
Certainly! In addition to the Shropshire Blue, we offer a beautiful assortment of cheeses from the United Kingdom. From classic Cheddar to the famous Blue Stilton. Discover them all in our category English Cheese.
