What is Dorset Blue Vinny Cheese?

Dorset Blue Vinny (Dorset Blue Vinney), a traditional English blue cheese from Woodbridge Farm in Sturminster Newton, is made from pasteurized Friesian cow's milk. Spiked with pins during maturation to encourage mold growth, it takes up to 20 weeks to mature. Awarded PGI status in 1998, the cheese features a firm, crumbly texture with a rich, creamy, and long-lasting flavor, and a flavorful, edible rind.
