The hybrid cheese starts with fresh milk from a single dairy and then uses different cheese-making techniques: "cheddaring," piercing and cave-aging.
Lucy’s Whey, in Chelsea Market and East Hampton sells Dunbarton Blue and cheesemonger Amy Thompson “loves Dunbarton because it's cheddar with a blue edge -- earthy and meaty. It’s got umami with a velvety texture.”
Wine & Beer Pairing
Amy recommends pairing it with a wine or beer that is tart, slightly sweet and effervescent. Something that will go well with the full flavored fudgy cheese.
Specifically, she recommends the Braida di Giacomo Bologna Brachetto d'Acqui from Piedmont, Italy which she’s used in cheese pairing classes.
