» Beenleigh Blue «
Modern, farmhouse, unpasteurized, organic, vegetarian, blue cheese made from sheep's milk. The shape reminds a cylinder. The rough, crusty, natural rind is slightly sticky and has some patches of blue, gray and white moulds. It is one of the blue cheeses made from sheep's milk in Britain. It is moist, yet crumbly, with the blue appearing as bold blue-green streaks through the white interior. The flavor is steely blue, with the burnt caramel sweetness, characteristic of fine sheep's milk. It melts on the palate, disclosing its strong, spicy character. It is wonderful with mead or sweet cider. The cheese ripens in six months and has a fat content of 45 - 50 per cent. It is available from August to January.
