Shropshire Blue 200g

Shropshire Blu is an English cheese, specifically Scottish, and it is one of the rare and delicious cases where our portal looks outside Italy. Exceptional cheese! Made with pasteurized cow's milk, soft, with a particular and very pleasant taste.

This cheese has a gray-brown, hard, cracked rind, speckled with various molds. The paste is orange: it owes its characteristic color to the addition of a natural coloring, annatto. Annatto is a natural yellow-reddish coloring (E160b), a carotenoid extracted from a wild plant in the Amazon, Bixa orellana. The intense orange of annatto, however, pairs well with the moldy green of Penicillium roqueforti. After salting, the product is aged for at least 12 weeks, but it is worth waiting longer.


Shropshire cheese: the story


Shropshire Blu is a cheese that begins its story in Scotland in an attempt to imitate the noble Stilton, with the addition of annatto in the vegetable curd. Shropshire Blu was first made in Inverness, in the Scottish Highlands, by cheesemaker Andy Williamson, who learned the art of producing Stilton in Nottinghamshire, in the East Midlands, where he named it Inverness-shire Blue or Blue Stuart. The success was immediate and the cheese was sold throughout the British Isles as Shropshire Blue, a name invented for the market.

Shropshire Blue 200g: use in the kitchen

The Shropshire Blu (which we are presenting here in a 200-gram portion) is wonderful in the kitchen for making soups and sauces!

Great pairings: a fortified wine like a Port or a Madeira, but also a semi-dry Marsala, or, to stay in the English taste, it can be enjoyed with a good dark Ale beer, if not a Guinness


Shropshire Blu: characteristics


Shropshire Blu is a soft, creamy, and very flavorful cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk, which presents a pleasant contrast of colors.

When it reaches a strong aging, it resembles a stone covered with moss. On the palate, it is very rich and creamy. 

This cheese has been selected for you directly by a great Venetian affineur, Giuseppe Bernardinelli from I Sapori del Portico.
