Bleu des Causses AOP/PDO is a robust and creamy French blue cheese, made from cow’s milk in the limestone-rich Gorges du Tarn region. Often compared to Roquefort, Bleu des Causses has a smoother, milder profile, yet retains a deep, savoury complexity. Protected under Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP) status, this cheese is aged in natural limestone caves for three to six months, where it develops its distinctive veining and bold character.
The texture of Bleu des Causses is firm yet creamy, with intensely flavoured blue mould veins running through its ivory paste. The taste is earthy, slightly spicy, and beautifully balanced, with notes of toasted nuts, wild grasses, and a pleasant saltiness that lingers on the palate. Compared to Roquefort, it has a rounder, richer mouthfeel, making it a versatile choice for both blue cheese lovers and those looking for a milder introduction to French blues.
This AOP-protected cheese is ideal for crumbling into salads, melting over steaks, or pairing with sweet fruit and honey. It complements dessert wines like Sauternes or a classic Tawny Port, as well as full-bodied reds such as Cahors or Syrah, which enhance its savoury depth.
