Located in:Cheese, ALL Unpasteurized
This blue from southeastern France is creamier than Roquefort, owing to the fact that it is made from cow's milk rather than sheep's. The terrain near Auvergne is craggy and desolate, and thus, better suited to raising sheep than cows. Even so, the region manages to produce enough cow's milk to eke out its small annual production of Bleu d'Auvergne. Bleu d'Auvergne is great crumbled on a tossed salad. You should also try a small piece on a slice of apple for a beautiful, healthy midday snack.
  • Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.
  • Whole form is 3 lbs.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.

Better than the average bleu
By Mr. CreosoteVerified Purchaser from Lake Hartwell, SC on 9/11/2008
Pros:
Creamy, Smooth, Tangy
Best Uses:
After Dinner, Salads
Describe Yourself:
Occasional Gourmand
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A very good bleu, somewhat tangy. It's too creamy and sticky to crumble easily onto salad, but it's worth the effort.

A wonderful blue cheese! This cheese has a strong blue cheese flavor but is very creamy and smooth. It is a bit pungent, but the flavor is pure. If you are a blue cheese lover you have to try this one!

I know this cheese is commonly eaten as part of a cheese course, with fruit or, perhaps, on a salad, I would suggest it on a sandwich. You don't need to add much because it has such a potent flavor. Wow.

I first had this cheese at a cheese stand in a little town in France on Market Day. My husband and I loved it! Its slightly salty, intense flavor is fabulous with pears. It's a full, hearty bleu.
