Itineraire des Saveurs Bleu d'Auvergne cow's milk cheese

Bleu d'Auvergne is a blue cheese, made in Auvergne, a mountainous country with volcanic soils, marked seasons and abundant pastures. It takes 20 to 25 liters of milk to make a Bleu d'Auvergne, which will weigh between 2 and 3 kilograms after a maturing period of at least 4 weeks.

The protected designation of origin is the European equivalent of the controlled designation of origin, which is a national recognition, implying a close link between the product, the terroir and human talent. PDO offers a guarantee of the origin of the product and of traditional manufacturing methods. It gives the cheese all its typicity.

To be recognized as PDO, the cheese must:

• come from a defined and delimited production area with milk from the same area
• meet specific production conditions
• have a recognized notoriety and seniority
• be subject to an approval and control procedure

Recommendation for consumption

French cheeses are recognized worldwide for their special texture, penetrating aroma and specific appearance.
Replace dessert with cheese. Instead of ending your meal with a piece of cake or a piece of pie, prepare a small cheese platter with nuts and fresh or dried fruit.

Suitable combinations:

• Fresh cheeses and their texture with oilseeds
• Blue-veined cheeses go very well with very sweet fruits
• Bloomy rind cheeses go well with apples and pears
• Goat and sheep cheeses with summer fruits
