Bleu d’Auvergne AOP is a rich and creamy French blue cheese, produced in the rugged volcanic landscapes of the Auvergne region. Protected under Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP/PDO) status, this cheese is crafted using pasteurised cow’s milk, following time-honoured traditions that enhance its buttery texture and well-balanced blue veining.
Aged for a minimum of four weeks, Bleu d’Auvergne develops a smooth, dense consistency, with its distinctive blue mould veins running through the pale ivory paste. The flavour is bold yet approachable, offering earthy, tangy, and slightly spicy notes, complemented by a creamy, melt-in-the-mouth richness. Compared to sharper blue cheeses like Roquefort, Bleu d’Auvergne has a gentler, more buttery profile, making it perfect for blue cheese lovers and newcomers alike.
Ideal for cheeseboards, sauces, and gourmet pairings, this French classic is delicious crumbled over salads, melted into steaks or burgers, or stirred into creamy pasta dishes. It pairs beautifully with sweet dessert wines like Sauternes, full-bodied reds like Cahors, or a classic Port, which enhance its balanced saltiness and savoury depth.
