Product Description
igourmet.com is saluting blue cheese by offering this International Blue Cheese Assortment, containing four of the worlds greatest blue cheeses. For creating blue cheese in the first place, we owe thanks to a micro-organism named Penicillium roqueforti. This microscopic spore attaches itself to a young cheese and, assuming the cheese is laced with small cracks, multiplies and spreads blue mold throughout as the cheese matures. By the way, this little microbe is also the principal agent used in creating penicillin, the world's first antibiotic. And now, back to the cheese... Roquefort: The world's oldest known blue cheese. It is made from sheep's milk and can only be produced and aged in a specific region in France, also named Roquefort. Exceptionally tangy! Mountain Gorgonzola: Another ancient blue, this one hails from northern Italy. It has a firm yet springy texture and a mellow bite that melts in your mouth. Roaring Forties: A modern blue from King Island, Australia. We are astounded by its creamy, delicious flavor everytime we sample it. Royal Blue Stilton: This special Stilton, still produced in Leicestershire, is full, rich and creamy. Its shocking blue veins radiate outward from a natural, crinkly brown crust, revealing layers and folds of honeyed, cheddary flavor.
