Blue-veined cheese
Our blue-veined cheeses are expertly crafted in the rich soils of the Netherlands and France. During maturation, the cheese is pierced, allowing oxygen to activate the Penicillium culture. This creates the characteristic blue veins that give the cheese its creamy texture, tangy flavour and exceptional quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cut the cheese yourselves?
Yes, we cut all the cheeses ourselves—and only when the order comes in. That’s how we keep them fresh.
How is blue cheese made?
During cheesemaking, a special Penicillium culture is added. The cheese is then pierced with fine needles during ripening, allowing oxygen to activate the mold. This creates the characteristic blue veins that give the cheese its unique flavor and character.
What is the difference between blue vein cheese, blue mold cheese, and blue cheese?
There is no difference. Blue-veined cheese, blue-mold cheese and blue cheese are different names for the same type of cheese. The characteristic blue veins develop during ripening and give the cheese its creamy texture and tangy, distinctive flavour.
What do you eat blue cheese with?
Blue cheese is delicious on toast or a baguette, but also works perfectly on a charcuterie board. In addition, it is a flavorful addition to hamburgers, salads, pasta dishes, risottos, sauces, and even a creamy cheese fondue. Pair the cheese with honey, figs, walnuts, or a glass of port for a surprising taste experience.
Is blue vein cheese healthy?
Blue cheese is a good source of protein and calcium, which help maintain strong bones and muscles. Because of its rich flavour, a small piece is often enough. As with most cheeses, blue cheese is perfectly fine as part of a varied diet when enjoyed in moderation.
