Devon Blue Cheese

Devon Blue Cheese is made in Totnes, Devon, England with raw milk from cows.

The milk is heated, then Penicillium roqueforti and vegetarian rennet are added. The curds, with the whey not drained off them, are put into cylindrical moulds. The moulds are turned several times during the first couple of days, to allow the whey to slowly drain. The cheese is aged for 3 to 4 weeks, then wrapped in foil, then aged for a further 4 to 8 months.

The cheese ends up yellowish inside with blue streaks. It is a strong tasting cheese, and very crumbly.

Each cylinder of the cheese weighs about 3 kg (6 ½ pounds).

As of 2022, the cheese is made by Ben Harris at Ticklemore Cheese Dairy.
