Oxford Blue is a blue cheese from the United Kingdom, made with cow's milk. The paste is semi soft and creamy, pale between blue green veins. A moist natural rind covers the cheese, and it can feel slightly sticky. The taste is tangy, salty, and aromatic, with a spicy edge that stays milder than a very old Stilton. It is a British blue for the board and the kitchen, not a hard cheese for a grater.
