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.

    Blue cheese and bitter leaves are the best of friends, sharing edgy characteristics and a faint metallic taste. Small sweet prawns and salty smoked bacon provide a lovely contrast. I used beautiful Castelfranco radicchio which looks as if its been splattered with crimson paint. But it is...

    Recipe Mr. Herbaceous’ buffalo wings

    Shortly after we got married, my husband decided that he wanted to perfect his chicken wing recipe. What followed was a summer of consuming far more chicken wings, cooked in far more ways, than any human reasonably should. This is the recipe he landed on. These will make fairly hot wings...

    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...

    Recipe Pappardelle with blue cheese & sherry sauce

    It doesn’t get much simpler. This recipe is super fast to make and tastes rather luxurious. You could use a medium sherry for a slightly sweeter taste. If you use fresh pasta the dish is ready in under 10 minutes. The recipe is for two but is easily halved for one person. Ingredients (serves...
