Cornish Blue Round 450g

Cornish Blue has been produced on the Stansfield’s farm on Bodmin Moor since 2001. At that time milk prices had collapsed and dairy farmers were facing a struggle to survive.

In the search for a new revenue stream, Phillip and Carol Stansfield started thinking about making cheese and noticed that there was no blue cheese being made in Cornwall. Phillip enrolled on a cheesemaking course at Cheshire College of Agriculture, turned a former bottling plant at the end of the milking parlour into a cheese production facility and Cornish Blue was born. Designed to be eaten as a young cheese, Cornish Blue is a very different product from traditional English blue cheeses. Its flavour is mild and creamy with a dense texture and buttery richness, and instead of the ‘salty tang’ common of other traditional blue cheeses it has a gentle sweetness.
