Barkham Blue is shaped like an ammonite and typically weighs slightly above a kilogram. It has a thin, natural brown-grey mouldy rind, which when cut open reveals a butter-coloured paste, resplendent with rich blue-green veins. It is made from a mixture of Jersey and Guernsey milk and, as a result is smooth and creamy with a melt-in-the-mouth texture. The flavour can be described as sweet with a touch of spicy pepperiness and despite the full blue quality, it never overpowers.
