Strathdon Blue is a Scottish blue cheese hailing from Tain, where it's been produced by the Stones family since 1851. The cheese is made from pasteurized Ayrshire and Friesian cow's milk. The texture is rich and creamy with blue veining running throughout the paste.
The aromas are powerful and rich, while the flavors are creamy and spicy with a slightly peppery finish. Strathdon Blue has won many awards, including Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards in 2014. It's recommended to use this cheese in cooking due to its pepperiness, so Strathdon Blue is often crumbled over steaks or burgers.
