Bleu d’Auvergne AOP (Unpasteurised) is a rich, intensely flavourful French blue cheese, produced in the volcanic heartlands of the Auvergne region. Protected under Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP) status, this unpasteurised version preserves the full complexity of its raw milk, offering a deeper, more robust flavour profile with enhanced earthy and spicy notes.
Aged for a minimum of four weeks, Bleu d’Auvergne develops a creamy, dense paste, generously veined with blue mould, which intensifies in flavour as it matures. Compared to its pasteurised counterpart, the unpasteurised version delivers greater depth and a more pronounced tang, with rich buttery, peppery, and slightly mushroomy undertones. Its smooth yet crumbly texture melts beautifully on the palate, creating an indulgent experience for true blue cheese connoisseurs.
This bold yet creamy blue is perfect for cheeseboards, gourmet cooking, and pairing with fine wines. It crumbles effortlessly over salads and roasted vegetables, melts luxuriously into steaks, burgers, or creamy pasta sauces, and pairs exceptionally well with sweet dessert wines like Sauternes, robust reds like Cahors, or a classic Tawny Port.
