| Bleu de Bresse - This is relatively recently designed blue is a double-cream cheese with a bloomy rind. Despite the fact that it is quite an industrially produced cheese it is still a welcome addition to the cheese board. It is a cow’s milk cheese made in Bresse near the Haut Vosges. It comes in large brie-shaped rounds which generally matures better and tastes richer than the mini rounds which are also available. Great for introducing blue cheese to those who would be reluctant to try.€2.70/100g |
| Fourme de Montbrison - Related to the lovely Fourme d'Ambert this cylindrical blue has a more pronounced flavour, with a likeness in texture, that semisoft elasticity particular/unique to these two blues. Made from raw cow's milk in the Auvergne.€2.00/100g |
| Bleu de Termignon - This natural blue is unusual in that no penicillin is added during the cheesemaking process. It is white on opening and then gradually as it is exposed to oxygen the blueing reveals itself, sometimes very little, sometimes more. A fascinating and beautiful thing to behold. The bacteria is naturally present in the air where it is made. The taste is unlike any other blue; it is relatively dry with an unmistakable bitter nuttiness with a slightly metallic finish. It is only made in the summer months on only five remaining farms in the mountains of Haute Maurienne in Savoie with the milk from the Abondance and Tarine cows, and is available from the first week of October. €5.00/100g |
