Cornish Blue is a semi-soft blue cheese from Cornwall in the United Kingdom. It is made from pasteurized cow's milk and is meant to be eaten while the paste is still young and moist. The interior is dense and pale, with blue-green veins through a buttery body, and a natural rind covers the outside. Makers use a vegetarian rennet, so the cheese suits many people who avoid animal rennet. The style is a modern British blue, not a copy of a dry, sharp classic.
