The orange comes from Annatto which is created from the seeds of the achiote tree. Not only does it give Blacksticks Blue a great all year round tan, it adds a subtle flavour that simply doesn't exist without it.
As comfortable on a cheeseboard as it is in a sandwich, Blacksticks Original is truly versatile Blue Cheese. We pair it with sweet or sharp flavours to create a real contrast. It can be melted and often switched with cheddar for more depth and complex flavour.
Yes! It safe to eat and adds to the flavour. Personally, it's one of our favourite parts...

All of our cheeses are handmade in our Farmhouse Dairy in rural Lancashire. The surrounding fields are grazed by the cows who provide our milk, many of whom are looked after by extended family. Our goat's milk comes from just down the road. We believe Lancashire and our surrounding area in particular make such a big difference to the quality of our cheese, alongside, of course the skill and experience of our wonderful team of cheesemakers.
