Beenleigh Blue has a very thin natural rind and comes wrapped in foil. The blue veins from a uneven, rather patchy, pattern mainly in the slightly crumbly paste. The aroma of this gourmet cheese is full of tasty nuts and mold and is similar to Roquefort.
The strong flavor hits the palate with upfront fruitiness of wine, and nuts and fades from a sweet and creamy mellow stage to a mushroomy finish which is rather a surprising. The well-flavored gourmet Beenleigh Blue comes from ewe's milk from the green valleys of Devon.
