Sage Derby

Sage Derby is one of England's oldest cheeses, produced in the region of Derbyshire. The cheese is made with cow's milk, and it's characterized by its unusual marbled visual appearance, a result of infusion with sage, which also gives the cheese a subtle herbaceous flavor.

However, spinach, marigold, and parsley can also be used instead of sage, but the practice is not that common. Sage Derby is aged for 1 to 3 months, and due to its good melting properties, it pairs with vegetables, fresh fruit, rye bread, and poultry.

In the past, this cheese was produced exclusively for Harvest and Christmas, but nowadays it can be bought throughout the year.
