Tonight on the food network, one of my favorite shows "Unwrapped" featured blue foods. I found one segment particularly grabbed my attention, it described the process from which springs one of the most pungent of stinky cheeses. The middle child of the cheese world. The unloved, misunderstood bleu. Many dismiss this stinky cheese purely on the basis of the smell, strange coloring and unfortunate reputation which inevitably follows. Well, if you are one of those misguided souls, I encourage you to try bleu; because bleu cheese is one of those foods you eat and instantly fall in love with or immediately regret putting into your mouth. While stinky, its bleu flavor envelops your mouth and provides a delicious, creamy sensation unlike most others in the cheese family. Bleu can be paired with wonderful aromatic fruits, wines and various meats to bring out subtle flavors. So, in short this is my advocacy on behalf of the under-appreciated bleu. Try something new, try bleu.
