Cheeses of England #1: Blue Vein Cheddar

Cheese: Blue Vein Cheddar
Manufacturer: Green's of Glastonbury

Sampled and purchased at the Parliament Hill Farmers' Market on 17 July.  You can't see the blue veins in this photo, but they're there.  I can't find any mention of the blue vein variety on the Green's of Glastonbury website, and this was sold at the market as discounted "ugly cheese," so it may very well be that the vein-ing is unintentional but not wholly undesirable.  It imparts a tanginess that I don't typically associate with cheddar.
