Gratin Bleu is a type of blue cheese made from cow’s milk. This cheese is semi-soft and has a creamy texture, with characteristic blue veins running through it, typical of blue cheeses. It has a pale yellow rind and an ivory-coloured interior. The flavour profile of Gratin Bleu is rich and robust, combining the sharpness and tanginess of blue mould with the creamy, buttery notes of the cheese. It’s known for its mild intensity compared to other blue cheeses, making it versatile in various culinary applications.
Gratin Bleu pairs well with fruits like pears or figs, and it’s often enjoyed on its own, with bread, or as part of a cheese board. It’s also used in cooking, adding a depth of flavour to sauces, salads, and baked dishes.
