Bournes Blue Cheshire: The Rare Original

Authentic Blue Cheshire from the Bourne Family

Experience a true rarity in the world of artisan cheese. Bournes Blue Cheshire is a legendary specialty that very few cheesemakers have the expertise to produce. As the original producers of this variety, Bournes Cheese continues to craft this award-winning blue using traditional methods at The Bank Farm in Malpas.

The Art of the Blue

Our Blue Cheshire starts with the same high-quality, traditional white curd that has made our family famous, Annatto is added to it during the make process which gives the cheese its recognisable slight yellow/orange colour. To create its signature character, the cheese is carefully matured and expertly spiked, allowing the air to reach the interior and develop those distinct, savory blue veins within the classic texture of a Cheshire.

  • Extremely Rare: Blue Cheshire is a difficult cheese to master; Bournes remains the definitive name for this rare English classic.

  • The Original Recipe: Based on generations of family knowledge, we balance the timing of the spiking perfectly to ensure the blueing complements, rather than overpowers, the salt-marsh-fed milk.

  • Signature Flavor Profile: A masterful combination of the "Cheshire tang" and a rich, mellow blue finish. It is more delicate than a Stilton, offering a complex, savory sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel.

  • Hand-Crafted in Cheshire: Every wheel is handmade and aged in our own cellars, ensuring that the Bournes Cheese legacy remains the global benchmark for Blue Cheshire.

A Connoisseur’s Centerpiece

Striking to look at and even better to taste, Bournes Blue Cheshire is a must-have for any serious cheeseboard. It represents the perfect marriage of traditional Cheshire acidity and the sophisticated depth of a blue-veined cheese.

"At Bournes Cheese, we are the guardians of the original Blue Cheshire. We combine deliberate, time-honored techniques with our historic family recipe to create a blue cheese unlike any other."
