Words from The French Pantry

Sage Derby is a gourmet cheddar-style cheese flavored with sage leaves and naturally colored with chlorophyll, giving it its distinctive green marbled appearance. The finely chopped sage adds a delicate herbal note, while the cheese is aged for around 12 weeks, similar to a mild cheddar.

The tradition of adding sage to Derby cheese dates back to the seventeenth century. At the time, sage was prized for its digestive and health-supporting properties, which led to the creation of Sage Derby. It was traditionally enjoyed during harvest season and at Christmas.

As one of the oldest British specialty cheeses and one of the original flavored cheeses, Sage Derby is truly distinctive. Unlike many flavored cheeses, the sage is incorporated during the cheesemaking process rather than added later. With its striking appearance and subtle herbal character, it makes a unique and festive addition to any cheese board or buffet.

• Refrigeration : Keep cheese wrapped in wax paper or parchment paper, then place it in an airtight container or resealable bag. Store in the fridge at 2-6°C (36-43°F) to maintain freshness.

• Serving Temperature : Bring to room temperature (30-60 min) before serving for the best flavor and texture.

- Hard Cheeses : If mold appears, simply cut away at least 1 inch around and below the moldy area. The rest of the cheese is safe to eat.

- Soft Cheeses : If mold appears on soft cheeses, it's recommended to discard the entire piece, as the mold may spread beyond the visible area.
