Leeds Blue – 100g

Mario Olianas was brought up in Sardinia. Moving to Leeds in 2001, he quickly set about realising his passion for food, setting up Italian supper clubs and baking fine foods. Upon hearing about his family’s diversification into cheese-making back in Sardina, however, Mario decided he wanted to create a better Italian cheese than that of his brothers! Getting hold of a small vat, he started making cheese in a specially converted room within his house, following an adapted Gorgonzola recipe. He uses fresh sheep’s milk which he collects daily from just outside Harrogate, and cultures imported from Italy. Made with pasteurised ewes milk and vegetarian rennet.
