Picture of bresse bleu cheese

Bresse Bleu is a soft factory-made blue cheese from pasteurized milk from the Rhône valley of France.

Bresse Bleu also known as Bleu de Bresse was invented in 1950 by the cheese makers of northeastern France as a smaller copy of Gorgonzola.

Bresse Bleu is a small 5 oz. / 150 grams drum. The cheese has a smooth, off-white rind and the paste is pale and creamy with patches of greenish-blue veining. There is a light milky aroma and a mild mushroomy flavor.
