Typically blue cheeses are not my favourites but this one was a lovely surprise. It has a sweetness that helps balance that strong “blue” taste. I would reorder not just for my guests to but for myself.

My husband and I love blue cheese. We really enjoy sampling new ones and decided to give Martin Pears Passito Blue Cheese a try. We were not disappointed. The aroma of the Pear "Grappa" hit our noses when we unwrapped the cheese. The intoxicating odour made it impossible not to taste a bit immediately. It was delicious, just by itself. When we set up our cheese tasting tray, a few days later, it was a bit stronger, though still equally tasty on our palates. I make a Ginger Pear Preserve with cardamon in it, and put a small dab of this on one of my pieces of the Martin Pears Passito Blue. Absolutely, heavenly. I highly recommend this cheese to those blue cheese lovers who want to savour something exquisite. It is firmly on our list of favourite blue cheeses to indulge our taste buds.

What a lovely surprise the first taste was, a combination of the piquant ‘blue’ along with the sweetness of pear. Not strident but definitely not dull.

It was the biggest hit of my last cheese order among my cheese loving friends

Delightful tangy blue and sweet pear. Purchased twice!
