The Real Facts About Blue Cheese
Blue cheese, also known as Bleu cheese is one of the most famous types of cheeses all over the world. Some of the reasons for the popularity of Blue cheese include the rich flavor that it comes with as well as its versatility as it has been used in different types of Blue cheese recipes; however, in spite of the popularity of this bold mold cheese, few know all the fun facts about Blue cheese. Let’s look at some of the background here.
History of Blue Cheese:
It is believed that Blue cheese was discovered by accident. Since the caves in which the blue cheeses were aged were damp and hot, it encouraged the development of various types of molds. The molds, in combination with other ingredients in the cheese led to a different flavor. One of the people decided to have a taste of the blue cheese, when the others have though that they were spoiled, and the exquisite taste was discovered. This resulted to different types of blue cheeses, some old and some new.
Different Blue Cheese Types:
-
Roquefort Blue Cheese
This was believed to be discovered in AD 79 and was made from Ewe’s milk. It is a treasured French mold cheese and comes with a unique aging process. It is stored in the caves near caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. It is recommended to be used with figs, nuts and wines.
-
Gorgonzola Cheese
This type of Blue cheese was named after the village in Italy in which it was invented. This Italian cheese has a history dating back to the 11th Century and is available in two versions: Gorgonzola Picante, which is aged for one year and comes with a sharp taste and crumbly texture and Gorgonzola Dolce which is aged for 3-5 months and features a sweet flavor and a cram texture. Picante and dolce mean spicy and sweet in the Italian language, respectively. For those who like cheese and wine, Gorgonzola Blue cheese is one of the best Port wine cheese pairings.
-
Stilton Blue Cheese
This cheese type originated from England in the 18th century and is now produced in areas such as Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire. Produced from local pasteurized milk, Stilton is aged for nine weeks and then pressed into cylindrical molds. It comes with a crumbly texture and an acidic taste that makes Stilton Blue cheese a great choice for salads and entrees.
-
Cabrales Blue Cheese
Made in northern Spain, Cabrales is made in the artisan tradition. It is made from pure and unpasteurized cow’s milk and can also be made from cow’s milk that is blended with goat or sheep milk in a traditional manner. The production of this type involves the heating of the milk and curdling by the inclusion of rennet. It is known for its strong flavor that can be quite acidic. The extremely bold nature of this artisan mold cheese makes it particularly stand out.
-
Danablu
This type of blue cheese was invented in the 20th Century in Denmark. This Danish Blue Cheese is aged for five to six weeks until the aged cheese has indicated the blue-green marbling. It comes with a sharp taste and a creamy flavor which makes it suitable for dark breads, fruits and red wines.
These cheese types can be used in different types of blue cheese recipes. Some of the foods that can be prepared with them include burgers, salads, steaks and vegetables. It is also important that the users check out the freshness and taste before they buy Blue cheese. We recommend visiting Rosenborg online for more on Blue cheese varieties, recipes, and a Blue cheese taste scale!

‘Cause I Sez So $16.98 Five years into one of the most unlikely reunions in recent rock & roll history, the New York Dolls have begun to acknowledge the great paradox of the new edition of the band. If ever there was a band with a distinctive musical and emotional personality, it was the Dolls, but with only two members of the original lineup still alive and able to take the stage in 2009, David Johansen and Syl Sylvain have had a heavy burden to bear, trying to make music that feels and sounds like the New York Dolls without their iconic lead guitarist, their original rhythm section, and the sort of lifestyle that defined their world view when they were the edgiest band in America’s toughest city. The new Dolls created a reasonable approximation of what their old sound would have been like had they all survived into the new millennium on 2006′s One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This, but 2009′s ‘Cause I Sez So suggests this band has little interest in living in the past, including their own. Todd Rundgren, who produced the Dolls’ brilliant 1973 debut, was behind the controls for this set, and the first two songs, “‘Cause I Sez So” and “Muddy Bones,” conjure up the sloppy downtown energy of the Dolls Mk. 1 better than anything on One Day It Will Please Us, full of dirty guitars, crashing drums, and broadly strutting vocals from Johansen, complemented by Rundgren’s roomy, natural-sounding production. But after that one-two punch, the album shifts gears, easing into a groove that’s more easygoing and (gulp) mature than the classic Dolls assault, with a warmer and more subdued approach. “Lonely So Long” is a great pop tune with a faint resemblance to the Beatles, “Nobody Got No Bizness” is a high-spirited, hip-shaking R&B shuffle, “Temptation to Exist” is a melodramatic ballad that sounds like it could have fit onto one of Johansen’s Buster Poindexter albums, “This Is Ridiculous” is a blues-influenced number that gives the singer plenty of room to showboat, and “Maki… |

(I’m) Stranded [Australia Bonus Tracks] $19.98 The Saints were to Australia what the Sex Pistols were to Britain and the Ramones to America. Picking up the germ planted by the defunct Stooges, MC5, Velvet Underground, and New York Dolls, the Saints sparked the Far East punk rock movement with a blasting, blistering, scorching sound no one had heard before. Moreover, the Saints were blitzing the unsuspecting in their home of Brisbane in 1973, long before the Sex Pistols or the Ramones had even begun. Australians today hold the Saints in greater reverence than any rock band in its history, save for the Easybeats. After their incendiary, self-released debut 7″ single “(I’m) Stranded” b/w “No Time” blew minds of a raving British press on import in 1976, subsequent sales of the single proved to the industry that the upstart punk movement was in fact commercially viable. The Saints pocketed a worldwide deal with EMI Australia, who rush-released “(I’m) Stranded” in Australia and Britain (and in the U.S., on the heavyweight punk label of the time, Sire Records) to capitalize on the new trend. This first LP was actually nothing but eight rough-and-raw demo tracks the band had no intention of releasing, plus the two sides of the much better, cleaner-sounding single. The heavy, buzzing racket on the eight demo tracks borders on unintelligible, they’re so cheaply recorded, but nothing can stop a collection of cracklers this intense, with two absolutely astounding, blues-heavy ballads thrown in for great balance — “Messin’ with the Kid” and “Story of Love” drip with genuine, bratty soul. Of the hard-fast tracks, even today’s punk fans are amazed at the sheer tenacity and outright fire of “Nights in Venice,” “One Way Street,” and “Erotic Neurotic.” Hear history burning. [The 2007 Australian edition included 8 bonus tracks.] ~ Jack Rabid, Rovi |

10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) $24.98 10 Days Out may well be Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s most important and intriguing album, even though the guitarist is hardly the featured artist on any of these tracks, working instead more as a sideman and facilitator for the impressive cast of venerable blues players who get a chance to shine here. Make no mistake about it, this recording belongs to such senior citizens as Henry Townsend, Etta Baker, Pinetop Perkins, and Henry Gray, and Shepherd’s presence (and the presence of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton) simply helps to focus the attention on these veteran blues players. Shepherd embarked on a ten-day journey into the American South in 2004 with a documentary film crew, a portable recording studio, and Double Trouble as a house band in an effort to catch the blues in its natural habitat of living rooms, kitchens, porches, back yards, and local watering holes, and the performances that resulted are priceless. Here is one-armed harp player Neal Pattman and blind guitarist Cootie Stark turning in a joyous, ramshackle version of “Prison Blues.” A little later, Stark delivers further on a delightful song called “U-Haul,” complete with a marvelous improvised rap over the tune’s run-out coda. Here, too, is the then-96-year-old Henry Townsend turning in a poignant “Tears Came Rollin’ Down.” Etta Baker, then 93, shows that age hadn’t slowed her as a guitarist at all as she delivers an elegant “Knoxville Rag.” Shepherd wisely stays in the background on cut after cut, allowing these amazing musical treasures to unfold naturally and without intrusive elements. There are absolutely no hotshot guitar histrionics anywhere on this disc, which speaks to Shepherd’s sincere vision for this project. He’s after the preservation of blues history with 10 Days Out, and as if to underscore that aim, five of the album’s participants (Neal Pattman, Cootie Stark, Gatemouth Brown, George “Wild Child” Butler, and… |
