Colston Bassett & District Dairy Ltd. produces a Vegetarian Shropshire Blue Cheese. This cheese is a semi-soft, blue-veined cheese known for its rich and creamy texture, which results from traditional hand-ladling methods. It has a distinctive orange color with blue veins, resulting from the addition of annatto, a natural food coloring.


The cheese offers a mellow and slightly tangy flavor profile, with a savory depth that appeals to many cheese enthusiasts. It is suitable for vegetarians as it is made with microbial rennet instead of animal rennet.
