Lanark Blue 2x750g

Lanark Blue is the famous Scottish Mould ripened cheese, sometimes described as Scotlands Roquefort. It is hand made in a farm-house creamery from unpasteurised ewes milk, and it matures slowly in the cool moist atmosphere of old stone-built cheese rooms. It has a shape of cylinder wrapped in foil. The taste is slightly sweet and green-blue veins spreading through the cheese are the result of mould having been sprinkled into the milk vat before the cheese is curdled. After that the cheese is moulded by hand and allowed to mature for three months. How Does LANARK BLUE taste? We think there is a depth, strength and complexity in the taste which is hard to match quoted from the Malt Whiskey Society newsletter. What can stand up to a smoky Islay Malt? Lanark blue, made lovingly by hand on Humphrey Erringtons farm in the Pentlands, is particularly recommended. When young it conjures up fresh grass with the delicate sweetness associated with the best of ewes milk cheeses. There is a hint of peat smoke in the aftertaste.
