Blue de Bresse is a French gourmet cheese with a smooth, off-white to bluish rind. The paste is pale and creamy with patches of greenish-blue veining. There is a light milky aroma and a mild mushroomy flavor.
Bleu de Bresse also known as Bresse Blue was invented in 1950 by the cheese makers of northeastern France as a smaller and more marketable version of Saingorlon, which itself was a First World War copy of Gorgonzola. Bleu de Bresse is now all factory-made from pasteurized milk.
Our offering consists of two pieces of Blue de Bresse.
