Clawson Shropshire Blue
Clawson Shropshire Blue
Description
This mature and mellow blue cheese from central UK is somewhat distinct from other blues, with a firmer, more crumbly texture. A great introduction to blue cheeses, as the blue flavour isn't too overpowering and the cheese itself tastes similar to a mature cheddar, a little salty and rich in flavour. The perfect Blue Shropshire will be a rich orange in colour with distinctive blue veining and a golden crust.
