Different Types Of Blue Cheese
When it comes to blue cheese, there are a few different types you can choose from. But really, all of them work and you can freely use which ones you prefer.
American blue cheese, while not historically placed in the same category as the big European varieties, is coming into its own. All are made from cow’s milk, and some types you might find are Point Reyes Blue (California), Hook’s Blue Paradise (Wisconsin), Great Hill Blue (Massachusetts), and Oregon Blue (Oregon).
Gorgonzola comes from Northern Italy and is a favorite in the United States. It is made from cow’s milk and has the mildest flavor of the three most prominent blues. Gorgonzola is used as a spread on crackers because of its creamy character. It’s also good for melting in pasta dishes and risotto.
Stilton comes from one of three British counties: Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire. It’s made from local cow’s milk only and has to rise to the standard set by governing boards to be sold as Stilton. It is relatively firm for blue cheese and its intensity falls between Roquefort and Gorgonzola.
Roquefort blue hails from southwestern France. It’s made from sheep’s milk, unlike most other blue cheese, and is the strongest flavored. It is soft and crumbly.
