‘The Original’
1.1Kg approx.
Burt’s Blue is the flagship product of Burt’s Cheese, a semi-soft cheese made using pasteurised cow’s milk.
Price includes delivery to UK Mainland.
Our Burt’s Blue cheese is made using pasteurised milk; the milk is inoculated with Penicillium Roqueforti (blue mould), which develops on the surface of the cheese. The ‘mouldy coat’ of each cheese can vary seasonally from darker ‘green and blues’ to paler ‘grey and blues’ (and its all edible – incase you were wondering!)
Each cheese is then pierced by hand during the ripening process to encourage and allow the growth of mild blue veins through the paste. These blotches and punctures of blue throughout give the cheese its character and flavour.
The younger cheese has more resistance to the touch and the flavours are more piquant and upfront, as the cheese matures, the flavours become more rounded and the resistance gives ways to a much softer texture.
Tasting Notes | It is soft blue with its yielding texture it avoids the harsher notes sometimes associated with blue cheese, it has a slight saltiness, typical of blue cheese. The younger cheese is more resistant to touch, but as it matures this resistance gives way to a muchsofter texture. |
