Bresse Bleu – French Blue Cheese
Milk: Cow
Origin: France
Bresse Bleu is a mild and creamy French blue cheese made from cow's milk. Its soft, buttery texture and gentle blue veining offer a delicate balance of richness and subtle tang, making it approachable for both newcomers and connoisseurs. Smooth and elegant, it's perfect for cheese boards or melting into sauces.
The history of Bresse Bleu® is closely linked to Italian immigration in the Lyon region. When Gorgonzola stopped being imported into France, several dairies in the Bresse area—led by Italian cheesemakers who had crossed the border—created the "saingorlon," a blue-veined cheese inspired by the Italian recipe.

Pears, grapes, walnuts, honey, crusty bread, roasted nuts, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, light ales.
