Fromager Bleu is a soft cow's milk cheese made using ultra-filtration in cheese making. This technique removes some of the water in the milk to create a lusciously creamy texture. The blue penicilium is injected into the paste at the early stage of the cheese making process. The marbling will develop slowly and result in a very creamy sweet gentle blue flavour.
Fromagerie Guilloteau was created in 1983 in Pélussin, Loire. It was the first creamery to use the now famous ultrafiltration system which results in a silky-smooth texture on the palate. Made with milk enriched with cream, it is part of the soft-white family of cheeses but distinguishes itself by the slight addition of blue mold that combines the strong character of blue with the softness of cream and gives this cheese its unique appeal.
Pairs perfectly with roasted hazelnuts and fruitier accompaniments like grapes, juicy pears and figs on a cheese platter.
