Shropshire Blu is a British cheese, specifically Scottish, and it is one of the rare and delicious cases where our portal looks outside Italy. Exceptional cheese! Made with pasteurized cow's milk, soft, with a particular and very pleasant taste. This cheese has a gray-brown crust, hard, cracked, mottled with various molds. The paste is semi-hard, unpressed, orange: it owes its characteristic color to the addition of a natural dye, annatto. Annatto is a natural yellow-reddish dye (E160b), a carotenoid extracted from a wild plant from the Amazon, Bixa orellana. The intense orange of the annatto pairs well with the green/blue mold of Penicillium Roqueforti. After salting, the product is aged for at least 12 weeks, but it is worth waiting longer.
