Dunsyre Blue Cheese

Dunsyre is a Scottish farmhouse blue cheese.

It is a creamy cheese, with a moist, white rind with bluish-green spicy veins running through it. It has a mild, almost sweet taste.

Dunsyre Blue Cheese is made in South Lanarkshire, Scotland by Humphrey Errington from unpasteurized milk from Ayrshire cows curdled with vegetarian rennet.

The curd is formed into foil-wrapped cylinders varying in size from 3 to 4 pounds (1.4 - 1.8 kg), then aged 6 to 12 weeks.

Dunsyre Blue Cheese is sold in cheese shops in 250 g, 500 g or 1 kg cuts.
