Specialty Cheeses

This traditional cheese is still handmade in only the three shires of Leicester, Derby, and Nottingham. It has long been prized as a cheese that captures the flavor of an earlier time. The ivory colored paste is permeated with greenish-blue veins of mold. It has a compact, fudge-like texture and a mellow, fruity richness to its flavor. It bears a rough rind of a mottled, grey-brown hue. Also available in half wheels.
