Montbriac or Rochebaron is a wonderful French blue gourmet cheese that is very different from many of the softer brie-blue combinations available.

It is very striking on the cheese board with its soft, gooey texture, and blue veining outlined by the blue-gray color of the ash-covered rind.

The flavor of this attractive gourmet cheese is creamy, complex and satisfying while being not too sharp or aggressive. It is delicious on crusty bread and fresh fruit.

Gena Eales Unique, wonderful, hard-to-find brie-like blue. As it acclimates to room temperature, it develops its Roquefort vein and becomes gooey and more pungent. Yum. Fabulous with a great French bread and some pear paste, fresh pears, or an apple or pear sorbet. Love this cheese year round. The dark rind is an ash that is used to control moisture and acidity, so don't be afraid to eat it, though the back rind is a little too much for me. Great with a heavier red wine such as a full-bodied cabernet sauvignon, a petit verdot, or a heavier zinfandel like Old Ghost. A treat. If you can find it, buy it.
