I'm a big cheese addict, and love to try new cheeses, so when my boyfriends parents had some of this in the fridge on my last visit, I was itching to try it - I have to say partly because it was packaged so attractively, in a cardboard sleeve with a clear window that allowed you to get a good look at the creamy white cheese with it's attractive network of blue green veins. Upon opening the packet the first thing I noticed was the smell - extremely strong. Most blue cheeses are pretty potent, but this one really assaults the nose, and could potentially clear a table if served to non cheese lovers . The second thing I noticed was that it was very moist . My ...  Read the complete review

My Dad loves this cheese, and I never complain when he buys it! I love cheese, and all types of it, especially blue cheese - but I know this is something you either love or hate. Some people just can't get their head around the fact that the blue bits are mould!! I, however, love it! The packet is a square cardboard, holding a triangular plastic insert with the cheese in. The cardboard has a window so you can view the cheese and look at how tasty it looks! The packet is easy to open, by sliding out the inner tray and peeling back the protective plastic sheet. The cheese is a wedge going from thcik to thin. The cheese looks ...  Read the complete review

I recently discovered St Agur Blue Cheese when I saw it on special offer at a supermarket. It made me wonder why on earth I had never purchased it before. I am a huge blue cheese fan, and on tasting this cheese, I realised what I had been missing, it certainly gives Stilton a run for its money. Look and texture wise it differs from blue cheeses such as Danish Blue and Blue Stilton. It is far softer and actually cuts in a similar manner to a brie. It has a similar colour to that of a Danish Blue, with pure white cheese speckled with greenish blue veins. It is fair to say that it looks quite exotic. Taste and texture wise, St Agur is an extremely ...  Read the complete review

I bought this cheese in Tesco as it was on special offer for a pound, so as I'm a fan of soft cheeses and blue cheese in general, I thought I'd give it a go. And I was glad I did! I found it to be a delicious and versatile blue cheese. The pack is reasonably attractive, with a cardboard outer sleeve, which encases a plastic pack with the cheese inside. The cardboard sleeve is useful as it stops the cheese falling around in the fridge. The cheese itself looks tasty with blue veins and is presented in a triangular wedge shape. It has a pleasant aroma - not too strong to stink out the fridge, which is a bonus! Saint Agur is soft, but ...  Read the complete review
