Blacksticks blue
07 April 2004
Blacksticks Blue is a new soft, blue-veined cheese from Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses, situated on Lancashire's Beacon Fell. Made solely with milk from the family's cows, the cheese is matured for eight weeks, during which it develops an amber hue and, says Butlers, a smooth but tangy flavour. The name comes from a collection of tall chestnut trees on the Goosnargh-Chipping border, which is also the name given to the family's restaurant.
