Flavour Profile: Burt’s Blue is an “approachable blue” with a bloomy rind of greenish, grey Penicillin Roqueforti mould. Its paste is off white in colour and luxurious in texture. It softens with age and can have a faint aroma of mushrooms. Burt’s Blue has a creamy taste with subtle tangy notes from its blue veins and a slightly salty finish. Drink Pairing: Enjoy with our Niepoort Crusted Port or a fruit forward red wine such as our Miss Harry Shiraz. About the Maker: Burt’s Cheese started out life in January 2009 in Altrincham, Cheshire.
