This is a green veined, semi-hard vegetarian cheese with a delightful, mild sage flavor. The custom of adding sage to Derby cheese began in the seventeenth century, when the herb was widely believed to possess health-giving properties, and gives the cheese another subtle level of flavor. Originally, Sage Derby was only made for festive occasions such as Harvest and Christmas, but today it is available all year round. These days, the process has changed some, but the flavor is still distinct and delightful, developing further with maturity. Ours is an incomparable cheese made by Ford Farms.
