Contents
Produced at Ogcastle near to the village of Carnwath by Humphrey Errington since 1985, [3] it is a rich blue-veined artisan cheese. Made from the cheesemaker's own flock's produce, it is one of the first blue ewe's milk cheeses produced in Britain since the Middle Ages.
Using Penicillium roqueforti , to create the veining, it has a strong flavour that varies according to the time of year that the cheese is made. [3]
