FROMAGER D'AFFINOIS BLEU
The Product
A stunning blue-veined interpretation of the Fromager d'Affinois concept. This cheese combines the signature ultra-creamy texture with distinctive blue mold veining, creating a blue cheese experience that is remarkably approachable — all the character of a blue with the smoothness that defines the d'Affinois name.
Origin & Terroir
Blue cheese has been made in France since ancient times, with Roquefort being documented as early as 79 AD. The Guilloteau fromagerie applied their ultrafiltration innovation to the blue cheese tradition, creating a uniquely smooth and creamy blue that breaks down barriers for those who find traditional blues too intense.
How to Enjoy
Pair with ripe pears, walnuts, and honey for a classic combination. Melt into sauces for steak or pasta. Pair with a sweet Sauternes, a vintage Port, or a rich Amarone. Also exceptional crumbled over a warm beet salad or stirred into risotto at the last moment.
Did You Know?
Blue cheese gets its distinctive veining from Penicillium roqueforti mold, which is carefully introduced during the cheesemaking process. The d'Affinois Bleu is unique because the ultrafiltration base creates an exceptionally smooth matrix for the blue mold, resulting in a blue cheese that converts even the most skeptical tasters.
