Product Description
Shepherds Purse Cheeses of Thirsk unveiled their new British style blue cheese Byland Blue at last years British Cheese Awards. Hand made to time honoured traditional cheesemaking originated by the Cistercian Monks at the local abbey, Byland Blue is the fifth blue cheese to join the companys award-winning range. Byland Blue is made from 100% Yorkshire cows milk and has a robust, full-bodied blue flavour with a firm, yet creamy texture and white body marbled with greenish-blue veins that easily crumble.Slightly sharper than the other blue cheeses in the Shepherds Purse range, Byland Blue has a tangy, piquant and slightly peppery flavour with a spicy aroma that complements a wide range of foods. Byland Blue can be easily identified by its traditional rind, giving it a rustic appearance. Commenting on the new cheese, Judy Bell, managing director of Shepherds Purse Cheeses said: Nine centuries of tradition have gone into our new Byland Blue cheese. We are confident it will be a real hit with cheese lovers and the perfect new blue to cheese to try for Christmas.
