Fine threads of blue weave through a velvety white paste, giving a flavour that is gently meaty, satisfyingly sweet and wonderfully rounded. Made in square moulds, it drains differently from traditional rounds, creating a smoother, more supple texture. A thin, sticky grey-white rind adds depth without overpowering, making this a blue that even the blue-shy often fall for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in the Highlands by Highland Fine Cheeses under the watchful eye of Rory Stone, Blue Murder is pasteurised and suitable for vegetarians. Rich yet approachable, it delivers flavour in layers rather than force. A true crowd-pleaser with attitude, and a fine companion to something sweet in the glass. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheesemaker: Highland Fine Cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighland Fine Cheeses, passionately created in Tain, Scotland, came to life on Blarliath Farm.
