Cows graze in the pastures of the Jura Mountains in Comte 6,000 ft.
above sea level. Here, they munch on mountain grass and flowers that
give their milk a distinct flavor reminiscent of mushroom and tarragon
flavors. The mould of the mountain grass and flowers traditionally
passed into their milk. This milk is used to produce Bleu de Gex. The
mould in the milk used to be enough to create a blue cheese, but today
they help it along a little by adding some penicillium roqueforti to the
milk. It still retains its beefy, fruity flavor, evenly marbled with
pale green mould. Aged 1-3 months, Bleu de Gex can be difficult to find
in the US. An unusual blue, it is formed into a large flat wheel with
the rind forming naturally with a white, powder-like mould that can be
wiped off when you want to eat it. Bleu de Gex was
designated an AOC cheese in France in 1977. It is traditionally eaten on
boiled potatoes, but also makes an excellent table cheese paired with a
young
Beaujolais, a strong
Burgundy, or a Cote du Rhone. Because it is
more supple and less creamy than other blues, it also makes a good salad
cheese.
