Lanark Blue

SHEEP / UNPASTEURISED / 

This original and famous Lanark Blue cheese is made from unpasteurised ewes milk from flock of Lacaune ewes. Lanark Blue is completely handmade. The cheese is matured for six weeks (early season) and for up to 8 months for Christmas time / Burns night. As they only milk the sheep from January to September, seasonal variations in the cheese will be found. Spring cheese will be fresh and sweet with the blue veins providing a light blue flavour while cheese for Christmas/ Burns night will be more powerful becoming more pungent (described as a kilt-lifter on a recent visit to Switzerland!)
