Shropshire Blue is a cow's-milk blue cheese from the United Kingdom, with an orange paste and blue-green veins. The color comes from annatto, not from the mold. The mold supplies the veins and a sharp, savory taste. Despite the name, it is not a cheese that belongs only to the county of Shropshire. It is known as a Scottish blue that is also made more widely in Britain.
