Raw Natural Blue Cheddar

£7.00

Earth-born elegance, marbled with living blue veins.
Product Details

A rare and rebellious cheese born from time, biology, and pure craft — Cheddar Gorge Natural Blue begins life as a classic raw-milk cheddar, but is allowed to take its own wild turn. No spores are added. No artificial cultures. Only the native blue mold living within the ancient Cheddar Gorge caves, where this cheese is carefully aged and periodically rubbed to encourage its organic veining.

The result?

A cheese that’s rich and savoury like traditional cheddar, but shot through with delicate blue veining that brings minerality, tang, and an unforgettable depth. Creamy, crumbly, and alive with flavour, this is raw heritage cheddar choosing its own destiny.

Each wedge weighs approx 190g
Ingredients

Raw Cow’s Milk, Sea Salt, Native Mold Culture (naturally occurring), Rennet.
Get Inspired

Pair with raw honey and walnuts for a sweet-salty showcase of complexity. Or melt into a blue-cheddar cheese toastie with caramelised onions and fresh thyme — indulgence meets old-world elegance.
How to Store

Our Customer Questions
Is the blue mold safe to eat?

Yes — it’s the same Penicillium species commonly found in other blue cheeses, just naturally occurring rather than added. It’s entirely safe, delicious, and a mark of real artisan aging.
What makes raw cheese different from regular cheese?

Raw cheese is made using unpasteurised milk, which retains its native enzymes, healthy bacteria, and full flavour complexity — resulting in a cheese that’s more alive, digestible, and true to its source.
Is raw cheese safe to eat?

Yes — when produced by skilled cheesemakers using raw milk from healthy, grass-fed animals. All our cheeses are made in small batches and aged under strict conditions to ensure both safety and quality.
Does raw cheese contain probiotics?

Yes — because it isn’t heat-treated, raw cheese naturally contains beneficial bacteria that support gut health and digestion. Aged cheeses pack in even more of these friendly microbes.
Why does raw cheese taste so different from supermarket cheese?

Raw cheese is full of terroir — the taste of the land, the animals, the pasture, and the season. Unlike standardised textures and bland flavours, raw cheese offers real depth, variation, and character that evolve as it ages.
Can I eat the rind on raw cheese?

Most of the time, yes — especially on natural or clothbound rinds. These rinds form naturally during aging and are edible, adding unique texture and flavour. However, waxed or cloth-covered rinds should be removed before eating. When in doubt, check the label — or follow the simple rule: if it looks natural, it’s meant to be tasted.
