Binham Blue
Soft creamy yellow with starkly contrasting deep green/blue veins, a gnarled rind dusted in white moulds. This looks just like a blue cheese ought to.
Binham Blue
The paste is soft and yields under pressure, but not quite enough to spread.
It has a very mild creamy taste, with bitter overtones, but not in the least bit sharp, like so many other blue cheeses. Other than that, there is little to say. It’s OK… a blue cheese for people that don’t like blue cheese.
It looks fantastic, and creates an anticipatory expectation that, sadly, fails to be met.
Purchased from Larners, Holt.
