About Bleu cheese

Bleu Cheese is a distinctively tangy and creamy cheese marked by its blue or greenish veins, created through the introduction of penicillium cultures during fermentation. Originating from regions like France and Italy, notable varieties include Roquefort, Stilton, and Gorgonzola. Rich in flavor, it is commonly used in dressing, sauces, and pairings for meats and salads. Nutritionally, bleu cheese offers a good source of calcium, protein, and essential vitamins like Vitamin A. It also contains probiotics that may support gut health. However, its high fat, calorie, and sodium content makes moderation key, especially for individuals managing heart health or hypertension. Popular for its bold taste, bleu cheese remains a staple in many European-inspired cuisines and dishes globally.
