Blue Cheese
Anyone here like blue cheese? I LOVE the stuff, although I'm looking for new tastes in this area.
My last new one was a bit of 'Yorkshire Blue' from Tescos. Nice, creamy and that lovely blue taste. Anyone got any recommendations? |

Best blue I've still ever had is Rosenbourg Danish Blue.
Some years ago they had some fantastic Roquefort in Tesco own label wrappers but the stuff they package now isn't the same and I can't find anything like it now. it was quite hard for Roquefort and quite salty and very strong. |

Roquefort is more green than blue, but I know what you mean. My favourite at the moment is St Agur, almost frozen and crumbled on a bed of lettuce with a few silverskin onions. |

Yes I love blue cheese. But how many of us as school kids were offered to smell the stuff by our peers "Smell the cheese..." only to find ones nose reeling in pain - not from the smell but a punch on the nose?!?

Supermarkets are always swapping suppliers to find the cheapest available. Worst example was Morrison's own brand Islay single malt whisky. Used to be wonderful. I went there specially to get some a while back and they were doing a 'three for the price of two' on it. So I had three of course. Magic, I thought. However, although the bottle was the same, the contents were rather bland, clearly from a different distiler. It still got drunk though.

Camazola is a wonderful soft blue cheese, a sort of creamy blue camembert. Wonderful with fruit and crackers after a meal. Try stuffing a fresh date with some, it's to die for.
I love cheese! |

Blue cheese smells EXACTLY the same as my fathers' athletes foot. I will not go near the stuff, literally.

Technically, it may not be blue cheese but I am rather partical to Dolcelatte. Preferrably when accompanied by some plain crackers, some nice butter, an apple, and (most importantly) a nice bottle of red - perhaps a Rioja.

Have you tried Dorset Blue Vinny? It's similar to Blue Silton but doesn't have quite as much fat - Sainsbury's had a nice one in their 'Be Good To Yourself' range (but not seen it much recently).
Dolcelatte with Rioja? Surely Italian cheese should be accompanied by Italian wine - how about a nice Sangiovese? Last edited by Paul Easton : 27-07-2004 at 15:14. |

I love blue cheese. Had Shropshire Blue crumbled on a nice salad for lunch. No wine though - working
Could widen this to other foodstuffs which have an acquired taste element to them - olives (yum), whiskey (ugh), |

I love cheese! I agree about previous post regarding the Roquefort in Tescos, not as good as it used to be. Re: Saint Agur - I too like that, and am about to try the spreadable potted stuff they do on a cracker in a sec. I'll give you my opinion shortly. Feel free to open the thread up to other acquired tastes. I'll throw a couple into the hat. Marmite - MMM!!!! The fairly salty fat left in a roasting tin after cooking drumsticks - BIG MMM!!! |

I did like that Saint Agur spreadable stuff. VERY nice on a cream cracker. The mother-in-law agreed.
The wife made a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp when I asked her if she wanted to try it. But the kids liked it. All in all (ignoring the wife) very nice stuff. |

I ADORE blue cheese, not so much on it's own, but with a nice medium cooked steak or in a steak pie.

This thread's as mature as the cheese you're discussing...

I love gorgonzola on a salad, and roquefort works extremely well with white pear.
