Cheese Tasting

 Last week I had a random text message from son " Have you tried the Stratford Blue cheese from Aldi?" 

I hadn't but as I was going shopping in Aldi it had to be tried. I think it's new to Aldi as I'd not seen it before.

Stratford Blue is another cheese made by Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses in Lancashire........ A soft and creamy blue cheese.

From their website............

Something of a dark horse (not literally!), Stratford Blue is really delicate, really creamy and perfectly rich. The blue bite develops with warmth but soon mellows in a sea of creaminess making our Stratford Blue cheese truly unique and unbelievably moreish.

A dreamy blue cheese, smooth in texture and with a distinctive taste.

Using traditional handmade methods, our Stratford Blue cheese it is crafted in open vats, then poured into individual moulds, turned by hand and matured under the watchful eyes of our cheese experts.

There is no escaping it, we are a family business. That’s what makes things exciting, and these family values are the bedrock of our culture. Richard and Annie started it, Jean and Tom nurtured it. Gill and Colin opened it, and the history page is just turning for Matthew and Danie

 

 

After trying it I texted back to son " It's nice, but I think  I prefer Shropshire Blue" .

He said 👍!

We're not great conversationalists in our family!
