Blue by Shepherds Purse Cheeses is a type of blue cheese known for its rich and creamy texture. It is handcrafted using traditional techniques and made from high-quality cow's milk, which imparts a distinct flavor profile. The cheese is aged to develop veins of blue mold, which gives it a characteristic tangy and robust taste.
Shepherds Purse Cheeses, based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, specializes in making a variety of artisan cheeses, including the award-winning blue cheese, Harrogate Blue, and the sheep milk cheese, Yorkshire Pecorino. The company was established in 1989 by Judy Bell and is known for using cow's milk, sheep's milk, and water buffalo milk.
