(based on 16 ratings)

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.

Comments about Bleu d'Auvergne:

I love this cheese not just for the taste, but also for its versitlity. A creamy cheese still firm enough to slice thin on fruit so both flavors can be tasted is perfection to me. I love a little as a rich treat in salads, and it's perfect as a more workable cheese with fresh figs than gorgonzola dolce's softness.

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

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.
