Styled around Bleu d’Auvergne from south/central France.
A fairly high moisture blue made with reasonably high-fat milk which helps advance a creamy texture.
All blue tends to be high in salt at around 2.2% but when mature it’s almost impossible to tell as the flavour develops into a salty/sweet combination with a distinctive steely blue note to finish. Try a peated dram, they tend to be a touch sweeter and always match nicely with the salty note of a blue cheese, as well as a muscat or pudding wine!
