Blue Cheeses
Made by skilled cheesemakers using British milk from the farms surrounding Butler’s Lancashire dairy (including a number of family farms), each blue cheese is handmade and given the time and care required to allow consistent maturation to perfection because we know that you want to buy a blue cheese packed with the best taste, texture and aroma possible. Our range of Blacksticks cheeses started in 2003 with the creation of Blacksticks Blue – milder and creamier than other British blues; something unique! Since then the choice has widened with something delicious for every palate.

Using local goats milk produced by Butler’s own herd of goats in Lancashire, Blacksticks Silk is a blue veined goats cheese, possessing a delicate flavour coupled with a pleasingly silky texture. Combining nuttiness with a subtle blue tang, the taste of this handmade cheese becomes more peppery with age. |

Local British Friesland sheeps milk is used to make Blacksticks Velvet, a milder soft blue veined cheese with an incredibly smooth and velvety texture. Handmade by Butlers in rural Lancashire, Blacksticks Velvet is not available during December and January due to the natural lambing cycle of British Friesland sheep. |
