There is only one source. This source contains a leaflet(primary source, because it is an exhibit). The commentary is not enough to make an article beyond
WP:NOT#DICDEF. The company(Nordex Food) has no article on Wikipedia.

Delete, no evidence that this is a notable product, even though it seems to have existed in the 1990s and was sold at Sainsbury's:

Comment. No opinion on notability but seems to exist per the Wellcome source I added to the article and Lynda Brown The Shopper's Guide to Organic Food (1998), pages 68 and 163, which describes it as "a Briestyle sliceable cheese". ETA: also two hits in WL: "Nordex Food" in Super Marketing magazine (Feb. 18, 2000) snippet states "Nordex Food has changed the name of its Cornflower range to Dairyland Organic and given it new, modern packaging. The range still includes Butter, Extra Creamy Danish Blue, Cream Cheese and Grinzola, and all have Soil..." and "Danes gain foothold for organic dairy products" in Grocer. (March 12, 1994), Vol. 216 Issue 7142, p33. There might well be more sources in Danish.

My theory is that they had to rename the cheese when
Gorgonzola became a protected name in the EU in the mid-1990s. The Wellcome source says it was produced by Gedsted Dairy, which in Danish is "Gedsted Mejeri" (so Nordex is only the importer to the UK), and I am pretty sure the cheese is still being sold, under the name "Blå Kornblomst" = "Blue cornflower".
Here is a cheese shop selling it. —

Indeed. I certainly wouldn't add any of my claims to the article. But maybe my speculation is useful for someone else who can show the cheese is notable after all, or who can prove my theory. —
