  • About

Originally a blue cheese with a close texture and delicate flavor, this is now more usually a white unveined cheese, though the blue version is still occasionally found. Made from pasteurized cows’ milk, it has a flaky texture, moist creamy-white interior and a mild milky flavor. Usually eaten young – at a month old — traditionally with apple pie or fruit cake.
