Not everyone loves blue cheese, probably because it has a strong flavor. I personally love it, although my favorites are the decent dolcelette made in Italy. I noticed that the Italians kept the best dairy products for themselves. So I did not taste the best Italian cheese unless I was in Italy.

Let us consider blue British cheese, though, which is what this article revolves around.

The most famous blue cheese in Britain is Stilton and, of course, there is also white stilton cheese. Steelton Cheese has an approved brand and can only be manufactured in Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. It is not produced in Stilton, Cambridgeshire. The best stilton should be a crisp blue, not hard.

However, there are many products that are produced throughout the UK. It can be made from cow's milk, goat milk, or goat's milk. Dovedale is made with cow's milk, while Blue Harbourne is made with goat's milk. One cheese made from sheep's milk is Scottish cheese, the Blue Lanark.

One of the blue Welsh cheeses is Pearl Las (Blue Pearl in English), which won the gold medal in 2015 at the World Cheese Awards. This special handmade blue cheese with sea salt rubbed in its crust rather than placed in brine like a lot of other cheese. It has a mild taste, so maybe even those who claim they do not like blue cheese would like it. It is made of cow's milk.

Blue Dovedale is produced only using cow's milk from the counties of Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire. There is also Dovedale Blue and Black, with black comes from sliced ​​black pepper.

Dorset Blue Vinny was used in all Dorset Dorset before World War II. Production began again at Woodbridge Farm, Dorset, in 1980. It was produced on a recipe more than 300 years old. The family that owns the farm has been producing Blue Vinney for more than 40 years.

Some blue cheeses have innovative names, such as Blissful Buffalo, made of sheep and buffalo milk. Then there is Blue Murder, a cheese from Scotland, made from cow's milk. This is made by Alex James, a former member of the UK Blur Squad.

There are many blue British cheeses that should be sampled, although you may have to order them online.
