If any of you out there happen to find a pair of socks in the Grand Central Terminal Market, would you kindly return them to me? They were knocked clear off my feet the moment I tasted Robin Congden's Beenleigh Blue over at the Murray's counter. This sweet ewe's milk blue, which is made in southwestern England, near Totnes in Devon County, has a creamy yet flakey texture. Similar to Roquefort, it is one of only a handful of a British ewe's milk blues, and its flavor is mildly spicy and not too salty.

Beenleigh!
Glad you guys enjoyed the Beenleigh. Congdon's Ticklemore dairy is just down the road from us, and Beenleigh is a staple in the cheese boxes we send out, as well as being a real favourite of mine.
Do you know he also makes Devon Blue (cow) and Harbourne Blue (goat)? At one time there was also a hard goats cheese called Ticklmore, but that's now made by his neighbours at Sharpham. I suppose it was just too troublesome trying to keep it form turning out blue ..
