Tasting notes

Produced using 100% fresh ewes milk, Mrs Bells Blue is considered to be a true contender to other continental ewes milk blue cheeses. It has a creamy texture with a slightly salty, complex, blue flavour which tantalises the taste buds.

Mrs Bells Blue is made from pasteurised ewes milk and is suitable for vegetarians.

Background

This is the sister cheese to our renowned Yorkshire Blue. We launched Mrs Bells Blue in 1997 and it immediately made its presence known - winning two gold medals and Reserve Supreme Champion at the prestigious Nantwich International Cheese Show. Mrs Bells Blue is based on a continental style recipe, as creamy as Yorkshire Blue but whiter in appearance. To achieve this level of quality and consistency we only select the highest quality ingredients. After hand making the cheeses they are salted and then matured in our ripening store for a minimum of 10 weeks. This process achieves a complex blue flavour, less salty than Roquefort but often compared. Mrs Bell\\\'s Blue is a favourite with the chefs including Rick Stein and Raymond Blanc.
