TERRE DE VOLCANS ~ BLEU d'AUVERGNE
About the cheese: terre des volcans means ‘the land of volcanoes’- the French Auvergne region used to be full of volcanoes, which has lent to its unique terroir (and to its perfect cheesemaking climate!). Though Bleu d’Auvergne is pasteurized, the mix of cultures added during cheesemaking gives this blue the full flavors found in other raw milk blues. TDV’s Bleu d’Auvergne has a soft-but-slightly crumbly texture, and is buttery and earthy with a slightly spicy kick at the finish. It is really well balanced, and never ends on a flat note!
Some describe Bleu d’Auvergne as roquefort’s mellower, cow’s milk cousin. Like Roquefort, Bleu d’Auvergne holds an AOC, meaning it’s production is strictly regulated. This ensures that this taste of French history and terroir stays intact!
