Notes: Bleu d'Auvergne has a creamy ivory colour, dotted with blue-green mould due to the Penicillium roqueforti, which gives the cheese its typical bluish-green veins. It is aged for a minimum of 4 weeks, by which time the cheese showcases it’s assertive flavours and smooth texture. The rind is moist and sticky, unveiling a soft paste with a grassy, herbaceous, and (with age) spicy, peppery, salty, pungent taste.
