Blue Cheese is a rich, tangy cheese made from cow, goat, or sheep's milk, characterized by its distinctive blue veins created by the Penicillium mold. Originating in the lush pastures of Europe, particularly France and Italy, this bold cheese adds depth to salads, dressings, and gourmet dishes. While it's delightfully flavorful, blue cheese is also higher in fat and sodium, so moderation is key. Packed with protein and calcium, it provides essential nutrients, making it a tasty yet indulgent choice for cheese lovers everywhere.
