Blue cheeses: how are they made

But what&' is this technique? Blurbing is a processing technique that allows the formation of colored mycelia of fungi of the Penicillium family during the maturation of the forms. There are different varieties of these mushrooms, such as Penicillium glaucum for the production of Gorgonzola blue cheese or Penicillium roqueforti for the production of Roquefort and Danish Blue (two excellent non-Italian cheeses). This technique consists in &' adding pure and selected cultures to the milk, before the curd, specific agents. L&' blueing gives the cheese, in addition to the elegant green-blue veins, also a characteristic sour and spicy flavor and a very particular and intense smell.



The weeding process has a fascinating history because, as in many other cases in the world of food, it was discovered in an absolutely random way. The caves where the first cheeses were left to age were, unintentionally, places where humidity and temperature greatly helped the proliferation of molds. The first blue cheese was born in 1070 in France: we are talking about Roquefort. Gorgonzola was born before Roquefort, in &' 879, but historical sources say that it did not contain colored veins before &' 11th century
