Hendricks Farm Cheddar Bleu

The Fair Food Farmstand recently started to carry another cheese from Hendricks Farm and Dairy - the Cheddar Blue.  It’s basically their Pub Cheddar with the introduction of bleu cheese inoculant.  I like Hendricks’ Pub Cheddar quite a bit, but I’m not 100% on board with the Cheddar Blue.  The taste is very nice - it’s a smooth bleu taste, rather than a super tangy taste.  Unfortunately, the texture suffers. 

The Pub Cheddar is crumbly, but the Cheddar Bleu is so crumbly that it has limited uses.  It could certainly be used as a topping for all sorts of things, but it shatters into such small pieces when cut that it couldn’t really be used on, let’s say, a cheese plate.

Still, the Cheddar Bleu is tasty!

OMG.  I bought this cheese on a whim this weekend from Whole Foods.  I love it!  Mine didn’t seem as crumbly as you said. Total cheesy yumminess!
