Blue Cheese had been around for a very long time and can be traced back to the village of Roquefort, France in the 7th Century. The legend goes that a shepherd forgot his lunch of bread and cheese in cave and returned months later to find the first batch of blue cheese!
Nowadays the process is much more refined with mould cultures added to the cheese milk. The blue veins are created through needling which exposes the cheese to oxygen to create the distinctive marbled appearance. The flavours can vary from mild to sharp depending on the type of milk used and the region in which it is produced as well. Sheep’s, cows, and even goats’ milk are used to produce blue cheese allowing for a wide variety of tastes and texture combinations.
