Other recipes

Bath Blue cheese is beautifully smooth with a creamy texture and the sharpness you’d expect from a blue. Pair that flavour with apricot jam and crunchy bread, and you’ll make some delightful party bites.

This is a fabulous and easy starter idea. The trick to making this salad really come to life is to use a blue cheese that delivers a strong flavour hit, and Bleu d’Auvergne does just that.

This Rarebit recipe comes with a Somerset twist. It uses Somerset Cheddar and Bath Soft, both from the organic farm Bath Soft Cheese and featured in The Bath Organic Selection Box. This is a lovely dish to serve up as a light snack or as part of afternoon tea.

These small bruschetta bites are real party-pleasers, and great for lunch too. The brie with blackberry and honey combination is a chef classic! Make them with Brie de Meaux AOC and they’ll be exquisite.
