Cornish Blue
It looks like a blue cheese that would knock your socks off. A gnarled, rank looking grey/straw coloured rind hiding an equally, rank and “old” looking patchy cream, brown and blue pate. Strong looking blue moulds gather around the regular holes that have been punched through the cheese specifically for this purpose.
 Cornish Blue But, looks can be deceptive in the world of cheese, and this is definitely a case of don’t judge a book by its cliché. It is beautifully creamy, with a very mild Stilton like flavour. If Stilton had a soft southern cousin, this would be it. If, Stilton scares you because of its pungency or acidity, then this would make a good substitute. |
