Mikes Fancy Cheese Young Buck
About This Cheese
Stilton style cheese made in Northern Ireland. The flavour is both fruity and savory with a touch of blue cheese spiciness and lightly crumbly texture.
Young Buck is a pleasing cheese. Like other blues, it works very well in a salad with pears and walnuts, and it teams agreeably with a fruity accompaniment such as Sheridans Fig Compote or a slice of quince cheese.

Story
Mike Thomson uses unpasteurised milk from a single herd of Co Down Holstein-Friesian cows. It has a strong salty flavour and is made in the Stilton style. Young Buck has a characteristic knobbly crust with a central smooth creamy blue-veined paste which becomes chalkier and slightly crumbly towards the edges
