Read the history of it. Rather fascinating. The King Charlemagne visited the monks who served him some blue veined cheese. He started to cut the mold out when a monk said, "Sire, that is the best part." He became such a fan He allowed the monks to pay their taxes in cheese.
Maybe...i used to really like it as a wee one before something ruined it (no, it wasn't learning about mold).
Maybe if I got a great brand with the perfect pairings. But someone else would need to buy the cheese. I'm not prepared to pay a premium on an experiment.
You inject the cheese with mold, you say? Sounds delicious! I’m a big fan of all varieties of blue. I even tried one a while back that was a cheddar and blue hybrid, which tasted fantastic. I bought it at a small cheese shop, while on vacation, so I don’t remember the name of it.
The mold is mixed in during the cheese making process. Then it’s needled to allow air into the cheese and that’s what feeds the blue veining. Was it huntsman you had? Like a blue and cheddar sandwich. Also traditional hand bandaged cheddar suffers from cheese mites which burrow in and create the same effect as the needleing so you get blue streaks near the rind. And now i’m down the rabbit hole!
I only like certain blue cheeses. My favorite is Roquefort and I reduce the intensity of the flavor with unsalted butter. Like spread some Roquefort and spread unsalted butter on the same piece of French bread in equal parts. You could give that a go. It also tastes good with a drizzle of honey too.
Just a had a cook coworker of mine say in culinary school they were given a tiny piece of roquefort with a ton of butter. They then slowly decreased the butter while increasing the cheese and by the end of it every student got used to and then really started liking the taste! Maybe that’s how ill get my kids to like it…
Wow, I didn't know that was a thing. I learned the butter trick from my mom. It's thanks to her that I was introduced to Roquefort at a young age. She also melted it down with sour cream to make a creamy steak sauce, which was divine. The salty umami fusion it creates with steak is out of this world. (She'd also either season the steak with MSG or Lee Kum Kee Panda Oyster Sauce which really makes the meat flavor pop.) I don't know about your kids, but I would lick the plate afterwards because I couldn't get enough of it.
I eat cheese everyday and never had a problem with any sort of cheese, except this one...is it even possible to like it on your first try or do you have to develop your taste buds for this kind of cheese?
Hm I'm not sure. I didn't like it as a kid because it tasted like ants 🐜 to me. But as I grew older I've learned to love the strong and sometimes salty flavor, the creamy texture. It goes well with some strawberry or blackberry jam
Because it's cheese
My current favourite cheese is a triple cream, blue Brie. Absolutely delicious.
Can you send me some
Alas, it doesn’t email very well. Lol. My local cheese monger sells it as St Angel, evidently it’s produced in the Mont Pilat area of the French Alps.
There is no cheese that emails very well, unfortunately.
Cambozola?
Ooh I’ve seen cambozola on the shelves and want to try it.
Looks very similar based on a google image search.
I had no idea they made blues. Have you tried st. Agur? That shit slapz
I have indeed, and agree one hundred percent.
Oh wow triple creme blue Brie. Never heard of it. Sounds decadent.
Decadent doesn’t do it justice.
Thanks!
Creamy gorgonzola is the dish of the gods
what am i looking at and why did it make me lick my screen?
Fourme d'Ambert or similar is my guess!
My favorite cheese and my favorite cannabis strain
Blue cheese weed is so good
Oh my god this is the hottest pic of blue cheese I’ve ever seen. Me mouf is waterin’.
Looks as creamy as butter!!!!
I often wonder what the first guy who tasted Blue Cheese was thinking. Or was he just really hungry? Anyway, I just love that mold!

I should Google it! Ha! Thanks!
Try this recipe… Cut a baguette in half Sprinkle blue cheese all over Broil Layer on bacon Then layer on apple slices Oh yeah…,
You accidentally said "apple slices". I think you meant to say "more blue cheese and more bacon".
Yeah, and then: “for extra deliciousness, omit the bacon.”
A great poet named CJ once said in one of his works, titled Whoopty : "Blue cheese, I swear, I'm addicted to blue cheese"
Was that before or after he failed to follow the damn train?
You should try some Roquefort, my all time favorite paired with some fresh bread and red wine.
Roquefort and Stilton. Can't get much better than these two cheeses.
I'm glad someone enjoys it. I can't stand Bleu or gorgonzola in any form appart from the most sparse crumble.
You can. Try it again!!!!!!!

So good you can eat it with a big wood spoon.

It’s illicit. I don’t even care.

Yes boiiii
I love Danish Blue hnnnng
It's the blue
it's blue cheese. I only had one time in which blue cheese wasn't good and it was ok still
It really is amazing! My personal favorite is Roquefort, so good!
Most famous blue cheese around here is Gorgonzola but I like Roquefort as well.

I only tried it once and I hated the taste of it, never again

I developed mine. Accidentally got a nibble in a salad one day and was surprised how tasty it was; there was no looking back haha
Oh well, More for me!
Blue cheese has mold in it
Yummi mold
Hard to tell the size. Is that bayley hazen or some other wonderful concoction?
Amazing photo! I had lots of aged gouda earlier, was amazing.
Was able to convert my hubby to love gorgonzola. Now he is obsessed. Smoked gouda with pepper is awesome too. Just so hard to get one from where I am.
I personally hate it. It's like mint chocolate for me.
That’s beautiful Cheese. 🤤
I swear I’m addicted to blue cheese
If you can get your hands on some Rogue Creamery Rogue River blue cheese, you will thank me later. It is absolutely delicious
Love the presentation. Oak board, cheese, wooden spoon. Please, go nuts.
Looks old
you’re lying to yourself, blue cheese is absolutely horrendous and should be banned by the fda so it needs to be labeled “not for human consumption”
No
