SD blue cheese appreciation society

Knowing that there are a few foodys on here, thought I might see if I can discover a new favourite cheese. I'm a self admitted blue cheese addict, especially with a large port or 4.

My personal favourite is montagnolo affine. Very creamy, luxurious & dangerously moreish.

Im obviously blessed living in notts to have lots of great stilton places nearby. The welbeck do a fantastic one, can't remember name now, something weird like stiltonly. Really good.

So, c'mon what do people suggest I try next?

You must be referring to Stichelton!

Colston Bassett Shropshire blue. I got given some from my mate who supplies the dairy, the voids inside were furry like a mouses back. Blurgh. Not for me.

I like a blue cheese made by
Alex James (from blur)
Called blue Monday, not to heavy but very tasty

At one time I couldn't even stand the smell of Blue cheese but I suppose with age your taste buds change and I love the stuff now but I'm no connoisseur

Dorset blue vinny,

 

[Quixote]

Torteval Fort Grey is my absolute favourite! Small batch and only available from the makers themselves on Guernsey. Utterly divine

Another vote for Blue Vinny

Courtyard Dairy nr Settle have great cheese of many varieties, including the blue vein varieties.

The best of blue cheeses to buy online.

A selection of some of the best blue cheeses available to buy online, including Stiltons, soft rich blues, Roquefort-style, and Gorgonzola, to name but a few!

A decent Gorgonzola, Lanark Blue, Strathdon Blue, Roquefort, but the Stichelton takes the biscuit tin, as well as the port!

That's the one, fantastic!

nothing better than a blue cheese.

While Stilton is a favorite, I also love Blue Murder which has a soft texture rather than the typical crumbly texture.

As soon as I saw the thread I was going to answer with Montagnolo. It has been known for us to eat a whole one over Christmas!

Try some Cashel Blue next

I will happily scoff just about any blue cheese on offer, apart from Danish Blue which I consider cheap factory rubbish.
I agree that Montagnolo is rather tasty, and I do like a nice Roquefort, but the UK’s offerings are quite superb.
There’s a fantastic good old fashioned cheese stall within Grainger Market in the centre of Newcastle that has a vast array of local cheeses, I can never remember what I’ve eaten (no doubt something to do with the Port), but I’m heading up there this Friday as it is my Wife’s birthday, I shall endeavour to report my findings.
