Blue cheese is a bold, tangy cheese characterized by its unique blue or green streaks created by the presence of edible mold cultures like Penicillium. Originating from Europe, varieties such as Roquefort from France and Gorgonzola from Italy are renowned worldwide. Typically made from cow, sheep, or goat’s milk, blue cheese is aged to develop its creamy texture and robust flavor. Nutritionally, it is a rich source of calcium, protein, and vitamins such as B12, contributing to bone health and energy production. However, it is also high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories, making portion control essential for those with dietary restrictions. Its distinctive flavor complements salads, dressings, or can be enjoyed on its own. While prized for its complexity and craftsmanship, individuals sensitive to lactose or with high blood pressure should consume it in moderation.
