Spanish Blue Cheese

Spanish Blue Cheese is used to describe cheeses from Spain which have veins of mould that have been encouraged to grow within them. This mould usually comes from Penicillium which is introduced to the cheese in different ways.

Some Spanish blue cheeses such as Valdeon Picos Blue PGI are pierced with needles to allow air into the cheese which allows the mould to form veins throughout the cheese. Others have more open rinds which allow the air to enter without the need for the piercing to occur.

Many of our Blue Cheeses are award winning. We have tasted many different wonderful cheeses and have chosen the very best for our cheese counter. We stock more than 15 blue cheeses from the UK and Europe.

Our Blue Cheeses are sold by the 100g unless otherwise stated.
