Highland Blue
 

HIGHLAND BLUE

Semi-firm, unpressed blue mold cheese with natural rind, 6” diameter, 5” high, 2.5 kg

Named for our beautiful Lanark Highlands and the many Scots who settled in the is area, Highland Blue is a tangy and rich blue cheese with a natural rind. Delicate overtones of blue mold combine with butter and mushroom demanding your loyalty. Hark to the pipes! The Highland Blue is a Royal Winter Fair ribbon winner!

TASTING NOTES: Fine blue-green veins throughout a moist cohesive, old-ivory coloured paste. Aromas are of damp slate and herbs (sage, marjoram). The cheese is full-flavoured, earthy and savoury with less salt and acidity than many blues.
WINE: Late harvest Riesling or Vidal, Tawny Port
BEER: Oatmeal Stout
OTHER: Ice-cider (Quebec or Prince Edward County)
