Bleu Des Causses

What is Bleu des Causses Cheese?

Bleu des Causses, a French blue cheese made from raw cow's milk. A close cousin to Roquefort, this exquisite cheese is produced in the heart of Les Causses, an area characterized by its stark limestone landscape. The use of Laguiole cow's milk imparts a remarkably smooth and luxurious texture to the cheese.

The distinctive flavour profile of Bleu des Causses is developed during its 3-6 month maturation period in limestone caves. Here, it develops deep pockets of greenish-blue mould, contributing to its bold and spicy character. A taste of Bleu des Causses reveals a blend of rich milkiness intertwined with peppery and spicy notes from the blue mould. During the summer, the cheese takes on unique grassy and clover flavours.

The cheese pairs well with sweet white wines and dessert wines like Sauternes or Mulderbosch Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc.
