This artisan produced pasturised ewes milk cheese possesses a perfectly textured, ivory coloured, creamy paste. It is slightly salty on the palette with a mild acidity.
Characterised by a deep white mould rind, a typical sheep aroma and a superb lingering finish on the palate.
A cross between Stilton and Cheshire, it is firmer with a sharp, creamy and slightly tangy flavour.
The striking yellow colour comes from the addition of Annatto a natural food colouring extracted from the seeds of the Achiote tree from South America which also helps to soften the cheese.
Clawson Blue Stilton is made in the heart of the Vale of Belvoir by Master Cheesemakers who began crafting cheese over 100 years ago. Each individual Stilton is individually graded and hand-selected to ensure finest quality. It will be ready at around eight weeks old and is crumbly and creamy with a bold and expressive flavour. The perfect Stilton will have the telltale blue veins radiating from the centre and a distinctive tangy flavour. The milk comes only from local farmers ensuring low food miles.
Long Clawson is only one of five dairies in the world able to make Stilton due to its PDO status.
Bleu d’Auvergne is a full bodied blue cheese inspired by Roquefort but made with cow’s milk in the heart of the Massif Central. It is produced in a short cylinder. The rind is thin and the paste is rich and creamy with a pretty ivory color. There are a few holes scattered throughout the paste with distributed greenish-blue veining. The cheese has a sharp aroma and a spicy flavor with a hint of herbs and melted butter. The overall flavor is piquant but not sharp: a cheese with an extraordinary personality.
This cheese takes its name from the mold traditionally used to shape cheeses around thevillage of Ambert. Legend has it that Gallic druids used it in their rituals! The rind is rough gray to reddish. The paste is pale yellow with erratic patches of really blue mold. The texture is rich and buttery with a subtle flavor of roasted hazelnut. This cheese is more supple and dense than most blues with perfume of fruit and wood and a savory nutty flavor. Very mild, it is often referred as the “connoisseur’s blue cheese” because its flavor works well with all other cheeses.
A cheese speciality created to meet the requirements of the most demanding consumers, it consists of a soft and creamy paste where layers of Mild Gorgonzola PDO alternate with layers of Mascarpone; in general, there is more of the latter, representing about 60% of the final product. The production is exclusively industrial, where the workplace and the machinery are subjected to checks and tests on a daily basis to ensure that the hygiene and health conditions laid down by the Ministry of Health are respected.
Gorgonzola and Mascarpone is particularly appreciated for its capacity to combine in a single product the harmony between the strong flavour of Gorgonzola and the mild flavour of Mascarpone. Mainly eaten as a table cheese, it can also be used, in particular by foreign chefs, to make Gorgonzola sauces to accompany meat and many other dishes.

Gorgonzola Dolce is aged for 2-3 months. The shorter ageing period gives the cheese a mild and sweet flavour.

The Wheels are aged for 3-4 months at a low temperature at which time metal rods are inserted to create air channels which allows the blue mould to spread. Due to the ageing the cheese is firm, moist but also has a sweet yet sharp taste.
