What is Bxton Blue?

Bxton Blue is an English blue cheese that is hard and yellow orange to red with blue stripes. It is made of cow's milk. This cheese is in many ways similar to the popular Stilton cheese, which is white with blue veins, but the body of the blue cheese buxton can come in many shades of reddish orange. It is usually served in salads, as an appetizer or on a cheese plate next to a fruit that accompanies sweet dessert wine. The culture of blue cheese consists of specific mold spores that develop into tasty blue stripes in this kind of cheese. After the mixture is cooked and released, they then undergo a process in which it is broken, salted and rotated before it is inserted into mold and pushed into hard cheese. Then it is aged for about six weeks.

When local governments want to maintain food culture in the area, they often regulate how and where a signature bowl or food items are produced to avoid changing food over time. Brexton Blue is a regulated cheese and can only be produced in BuxtonOr in its vicinity with milk from specific parts of England using traditional methods. Milk that goes to Buxton Blue should primarily come from Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire or Staffordshire, but sometimes it can come from other nearby regions such as Shropshire and Cheshire, in case of lack of milk from defined regions. Like Buxton Blue, Stilton is a protected cheese that must be made using prescribed materials and techniques.
