President Bleu d'Auvergne

Item #: 7811

Président Bleu d’Auvergne(bleu do-VER-nyuh) is made in the mountainous Auvergne region, located in the Highlands of the Massif Central. The Auvergne region is renowned for its rugged landscape dominated by extinct volcanoes, high wind-swept plateaus, deep gorges, and crater lakes. Rainfall of up to 40 inches per year provides the region with lush pastures rich in oligo-elements and rolling hillsides for Charolaise cows.

Made with 100% cow’s milk, wheels of Bleu d’Auvergne mature for at least four weeks in dark, cool, and humid cellar. They have a natural rind, often with some white surface of mold.  Bleu d'Auvergne has inherited a real "terroir" flavor from the rich volcanic soil of the Auvergne mountain range, giving it a robust, spicy and somewhat nutty taste.  The texture is moist, dense, and buttery. The ivory-white colored paste is veined with bluish-green molds, evenly distributed throughout the cheese.

Bleu d'Auvergne is best enjoyed at room temperature.
