Britpop Blue Monday By Alex James

Six Dimensional Hypercheese from Alex James Cheese lovers get ecstatic about blues. It’s because blue cheese is a unique mouthful, the only thing that we eat that contains all of the six distinct flavours we can taste at once. Blue Monday is both sweet and salty. The edible rind carries a little bitterness and its gentle acidity marries perfectly with the Marmitey umami kick you get from all good blues.

It also bears the sixth taste, kokumi, the mouthfeel common to butter, mayonnaise, bacon and cream.

So, it’s everything all at once. No other food can do this.
