Blue Cheese and Wine Selection

For a decadent after-dinner experience enjoy our mouth-watering blue cheese selection with a specially selected semi-sweet wine. Beacon Down Riesling is a unique English wine from East Sussex. Soft and opulent, it has flavours of peach and mango with lightly honeyed notes and a hint of creaminess. Bright in the glass, we think it has just the right level of sweetness to pair beautifully with this selection including scoopable Gorgonzola Dolce, crumbly Stilton-style Sparkenhoe Blue and the piquant French sheep's milk cheese, Roquefort. Hand-rolled Scottish oatcakes accompany this trio.

Please note you must be over 18 to purchase this product and it is available for courier delivery and collection from Slate Aldeburgh only.

Tasting notes

 Gorgonzola Dolce - Soft and silky, we simply scoop our Gorgonzola Dolce from its rind shell and serve it in a tub. Its pale ivory paste is sublimely sweet and creamy while blue veins deliver rich, salty flavours with mushroom notes. One of our mildest blue cheeses, it is aged for between two and three months. Unpasteurised cow's milk / Traditional rennet.
 
Sparkenhoe Blue - Made by the Clarke family in Leicestershire, best known for their Sparkenhoe Red Leicester, this Stilton-inspired cheese exhibits a dense texture and delicate blue veining. Deeply savoury, it is creamy with mellow blueing and has a flavoursome natural rind. Matured for 14 weeks, this cheese is pierced with rods at around six weeks to trigger blue mould development. Unpasteurised cow's milk / Traditional rennet.
 
Roquefort - A semi-hard French cheese made from the raw milk of Lacaune sheep and Penicillium Roqueforti mould from the natural caves of Roquefort-sure-Soulzon. With no rind and an open texture, it is moist and crumbly with mould that is greener than other blue cheeses. Made to strict PDO guidelines this distinctive cheese has a piquant salty profile that matches well with honey or a glass of Sauternes. Unpasteurised sheep's milk / Traditional rennet.
