Sage Derby.
Sage Derby is a buttery semi-hard cheese shot through with delicate green veins of fresh sage, delivering a mild, herbaceous whisper beneath its creamy texture. The paste is soft enough to yield on your tongue, carrying notes of grass and herb garden that feel more like a subtle breath than a bold statement. Its natural rind frames a cheese that tastes like the English countryside in edible form.

The story
How it's made.
Why it tastes that way.
Sage Derby is a variant of Derby cheese (one of England's oldest cheeses, documented from the 17th century) in which sage is incorporated into the paste during production, creating a distinctive green marbling.
The herb was historically valued for its perceived health properties. It is traditionally made for Christmas in England.
