Burt’s Cheese had its beginnings in January 2009 in Altrincham, Cheshire. Claire Burt, inspired by her dairy industry career, decided to pursue her passion for cheese-making. Initially, it was a hobby at her kitchen table, but after earning a Gold award for Burt’s Blue Cheese at the International Cheese Show – Nantwich 2010, she made the choice to turn it into a piece-time business.
The taste profile is characterized by a creamy and buttery essence with a subtle saltiness, accompanied by a mild bitterness that concludes with a savoury note. You might also detect a subtle hint of mushroom from the rind. The interior texture appears smooth just beneath the rind, displaying a slight crumbly quality towards the center, with a touch of chalkiness in the midst.
It offers a well-rounded flavour that’s delightful by itself, and it would also make an excellent addition to a pizza or a grilled sandwich.
Store in the fridge, wrapped in cheese paper, and consume within a few days.

1 review for Burt’s Blue
Paul C –
This is a pleasant creamy blue – perhaps similar to cambozola. The rind adds a much more rustic note for those that like that sort of thing.
