Description

Sage Derby Cheese is a delicious variety of semi-soft English cheese, originating from the Derbyshire region in the United Kingdom. This cheese is characterized by its soft and creamy texture, with a pale yellowish color and a slightly sweet and buttery flavor, enriched by the distinctive aroma and taste of fresh sage that is incorporated during its production.

The addition of sage not only provides an aromatic and herbal touch that balances the creaminess of the cheese but also offers digestive and antioxidant properties, traditional to this plant. This combination makes Sage Derby cheese perfect for dishes that seek a flavor counterpoint, ideal for spreading on bread, including on cheese boards, or using melted in pasta recipes, salads, and appetizers.

Regarding its origin, Derby cheese is an English specialty dating back to the 19th century, and although the inclusion of sage is a modern variant, it has gained much popularity for its unique flavor and versatility in the kitchen.

Nutritional properties: Like other semi-soft cheeses, it is a good source of protein, calcium, and fats, in addition to containing vitamins A and B12. The sage adds natural antioxidant compounds, which can contribute to benefits for digestive health.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Although it is not a traditional cheese in Latin America, it can be found under names such as queso Derby con hierba de salvia or simply queso Derby con salvia. In some regions, it might be informally referred to as queso inglés con salvia.
