Location
The Skailes family, the proud owners of Cropwell Bishop Creamery, have been perfecting their cheese-making craft for over 160 years. Their journey in the cheese world took a significant step forward in 1949 when the family acquired the Cropwell Bishop Creamery, nestled in the heart of Nottingham, England. The creamery has since become renowned for its dedication to producing high-quality cheeses that reflect both tradition and innovation. Over the decades, the Skailes family has worked tirelessly to uphold the legacy of artisanal cheese-making while maintaining a commitment to sustainable practices and local sourcing.
Tasting
Beauvale is a rich indulgent soft blue cheese, soft, creamy, mellow blue cheese with a natural thin coat made from full fat milk. The style is reminiscent of a Gorgonzola Dolce.
Pairing
Blue cheeses like Beauvale pair beautifully with honey, jams, or fresh fruits, like strawberries and grapes. For extra indulgence try this sugar coated berry recipe. Blue cheese and dark chocolate is a match made in heaven. This also pairs well with rosés whose fruity characteristics and crisp acidity match the butteriness of the cheese. For an incredible experience, consider pairing Beauvale with sweet wines, such as Tokaji or Sauternes, or even Port wines. Some other possibilities to consider are German Rieslings or French Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
