Danish Blue is a quick ripener, whiter and sharper in flavour than other Danish cheeses. Its green and blue veining is a characteristic of this popular cheese. As it ripens, it becomes creamier in texture and flavour. Use Danish Blue to give added zest to cocktail dips; cream it with butter and brandy, and use it as a spread, or to fill crisp celery stalks; crumble a little into a French dressing for a green salad with a difference.
Companion wines: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Hermitage, Côtes Rôties.
