English cheese – Shropshire Blue
Posted on December 27th, 2008 by admin
Shropshire Blue is a cow’s milk cheese made in the United Kingdom. The cheese was first made in the 1970s at the Castle Stuart dairy in Inverness, Scotland by Andy Williamson, a cheesemaker who had trained in the making of Stilton in Nottinghamshire. The cheese was first known as ‘Inverness-shire Blue’ or ‘Blue Stuart’, but was eventually marketed as ‘Shropshire Blue’, a name chosen to help increase its popularity, despite it having no link to the county of Shropshire. Though now the cheese is now being made in the county of Shropshire in a small dairy in the town of Newport, Shropshire.
