Shropshire Blu is a British cheese, specifically Scottish, and it is one of the rare and delicious cases in which our portal looks outside of Italy. Exceptional cheese! Made with pasteurized cow's milk, soft, with a particular and very pleasant taste. This cheese features a gray-brown crust, hard, cracked, flecked 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-red dye (E160b), a carotenoid extracted from a wild plant of the Amazon, Bixa orellana. The intense orange of annatto, however, pairs well with the green/blue moldy of Penicillium Roqueforti. After salting, the product is aged for at least 12 weeks, but it's worth waiting longer.
