igourmet.com is saluting blue cheese by offering this International Blue Cheese Assortment, containing four of the world's greatest blue cheeses. For creating blue cheese in the first place, we owe thanks to a micro-organism named penicillium roqueforti. This microscopic spore attaches itself to a young cheese and spreads blue mold throughout as the cheese matures.
-
Fourme d'Ambert: This French blue is cave-aged for a minimum of two months, made from raw cow's milk and has a tremendous, creamy, full-bodied flavor. (7.5 oz)
-
Mountain Gorgonzola: Another ancient blue, this one hails from northern Italy. It has a firm yet springy texture and a mellow bite that melts in your mouth. (7.5 oz)
-
Blue Stilton DOP Cheese: Blue Stilton is one of a handful of British cheeses granted the status of a "protected designation origin" (PDO) by the European Commission. Only cheese produced in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire and made according to a strict code may be called Stilton. (7.5 oz)

Danish Crumbly Blue: Its crumbly texture and more-mild-than-Roquefort flavor exemplifies why this Danish blue cheese has made such an indelible mark in the culinary world. (7.5 oz)
