blue cheese

Blue cheese is cheese made with cultures of the mold Penicillium, giving it spots or veins of the mold throughout the cheese
Blue cheese is cheese made with cultures of the mold Penicillium, giving it spots or veins of the mold throughout the cheese, which can vary in colour through various shades of blue and green. This carries a distinct smell, either from that or various specially cultivated bacteria. Blue cheese can be eaten by itself or can be spread, crumbled or melted into or over a range of other foods.
The characteristic flavour of blue cheeses tends to be sharp and salty. Their distinct smell comes from both the mold and types of bacteria encouraged to grow on the cheese.

    Recipe Blue cheese polenta with mushrooms, shallots and sultanas

    Adding a few raisins or sultanas to porcini mushrooms, when hydrating them, adds a sweet intriguing flavour. You could use any blue cheese for the polenta. Stilton would pair well with the port wine sauce, although I think a mild creamy blue such as Dolcelatte (which is what I used) works very...
