{"product_id":"shafts-blue-cheese","title":"Shaft's Blue Cheese","description":"\u003cp\u003eShaft's Blue is a cow's milk blue from Cedar Ridge, California, the kind of American blue that earns its place next to the European classics. The paste is semi-soft, buttery, and shot through with veins of Penicillium roqueforti that the wheels are pierced to encourage, letting the mold breathe evenly all the way through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavor opens buttery and clean, then the blue kicks in with a confident peppery bite that pulls back before turning sharp. Plenty of salt, a mushroomy cave-driven depth, and a long savory finish that lingers well past the swallow. It crumbles when you want it to, holds together when you want a slab, and stays creamy enough to spread on a piece of walnut bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a blue for people who already love blue, the kind of wheel that holds its own next to a Stilton or a Roquefort while staying recognizably Californian, a little drier on the rind and a little fruitier in the paste.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World's Best Cheese West","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":45673219883177,"sku":"11737","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/6027\/8185\/files\/shafts_blue.jpg?v=1744804027","url":"https:\/\/cheesestore.com\/products\/shafts-blue-cheese","provider":"The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills | Domenico's Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
