Blacksticks Blue is a distinct British cheese produced by Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses, a family-owned business based in Lancashire, England. Known for its striking orange hue and veiny blue streaks, this cheese offers a smooth and creamy texture with a slightly tangy and spicy flavor that differentiates it from traditional blue cheeses.


Blacksticks Blue is crafted from pasteurized cow’s milk and is typically matured for about eight weeks, allowing it to develop its unique taste and character. This cheese is often enjoyed on cheeseboards, melted into dishes, and paired with sweet accompaniments like fruit or honey to balance its robust flavor profile.
