blue cheese
Moldy, pungent wedge
Blue cheese is cheese with veins of blue-green mold running through it, giving it a sharp, pungent flavor.
The mold is introduced during production and ages within the cheese.
Varieties include Roquefort, Gorgonzola, and Stilton.
Blue cheese appears in salads, dressings, and as a dip for wings: I'll have the blue cheese dressing.
