Bleu de Gex

Bleu de Gex, or Bleu du Haut-Jura, comes from the mountainous Jura region, near the Swiss border.

Bleu de Gex has a natural rind covered with powdery white and gray molds. The moist butter-coloured interior will be liberally laced with blue-gray veins. The nose reveals a nutty aroma suggestive of roasted peanuts. The semi-soft texture is exceptionally creamy and has a rich flavour and silky, melt-in-the-mouth quality. Unlike some other blues, which can be fearsomely piquant, Bleu de Gex is mild and subtle. You couldn’t find a more appealing partner for autumn figs, apples and pears.

With Bleu de Gex, open a fortified dessert wine that is not syrupy sweet.

Can be stored for up to 3-4 weeks in the fridge in its packaging.
