Description

Definition and Scope:

Blue cheese is a category of cheese distinguished by the presence of blue or green mold veins created by the mold Penicillium, which gives it a distinctive sharp, tangy, and pungent flavor. It is typically made from cow’s, sheep’s, or goat’s milk and undergoes a specific aging process where mold spores are introduced to develop the characteristic marbling. The texture ranges from creamy to crumbly, and moisture content varies depending on the variety. Blue cheese is commonly consumed as a table cheese, used in salads, sauces, and dressings, and valued for its strong flavor profile.
