Strathdon Blue is a creamy blue cheese from Scotland, in the United Kingdom. It is made from pasteurized cow's milk, and blue-green veins run through a pale, moist paste. The style takes its cue from Bleu d'Auvergne, so the texture stays softer than a dry, crumbly blue. The taste is tangy and full, with salt that can turn a little sweeter as the cheese matures. A clear blue note shows at the end of the bite.
