About Blue Vein (Australian) Cheese

Blue Vein cheese from Australia is made from cow's milk, which can be either pasteurized or unpasteurized. This cheese is semi-soft and features the characteristic blue veins that are formed by the mold used in its production. It has a salty and sharp flavor, which is complemented by a notably strong and stinky aroma. The cheese has a natural rind and shows a blue color due to the mold. Blue Vein is a bold choice for those who enjoy intensely flavored cheeses and pairs well with robust accompaniments like fresh pears or walnuts.
