#16 Bluette tome pur chevre au bleu

Blue cheese divides the world in  much the same way as Michael Jackson. Some love it. Others think its a bit off.

I am in the latter camp on Michael Jackson (albeit recognising the genius of the Jackson 5 and his early solo work) and the former camp when it comes to the subject of blue vein cheese.

I cut my teeth (so to speak) on blue castello 20 years ago, the training wheels of blue vein, and undertook a pilgrimage to Roquefort on my first visit to Europe. I love the stuff.

Bluette tome pur chevre au bleu was a welcome addition to my ton of cheese tally.

It's a Basque goat milk cheese from the French Pyrenees produced by Onetik.

Crumbly, dense and moist. An ancient looking brown rind wrapped around a pale, yellow-tinged cheese with deposits of blue scattered within. The taste is sharp and creamy.

Merci Beaucoup to the French Shop at Vic Market for this recommendation.
