About Shropshire Blue: Shropshire Blue is a distinct cheese that combines the creamy richness of a classic blue cheese with the tangy, slightly sharp notes that make it stand out. The cheese gets its bright orange colour from the addition of annatto, a natural colouring, which contrasts beautifully with the blue veining. Aged to perfection, this cheese delivers a well-balanced flavour with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.
