Bleu Dauvergne

150g

Bleu d'Auvergne was developed in the mid-1850s by a French cheesemaker named Antoine Roussel.[2] Roussel noted that the occurrence of blue molds on his curd resulted in an agreeable taste, and conducted experiments to determine how veins of such mold could be induced.[2] After several failed tests, Roussel discovered that the application of rye bread mold created the veining, and that pricking the curd with a needle provided increased aeration.[2] The increased oxygenation enabled the blue mold to grow in the pockets of air within the curd.[2] Subsequently, his discovery and techniques spread throughout the region.

Today, bleu d'Auvergne is prepared via mechanical needling processes. It is then aged for approximately four weeks in cool, wet cellars before distribution, a relatively short period for blue cheeses.

Great local Supermarket. Got a delivery on the same day which was lucky. The delivery time changed but it suited me and was not a problem. You don't get that with Tesco, Sainsburys, etc., the beauty of shopping local. Recommend. Only one substitution but I expected it. Friendly driver.

We use online ordering from Dikes to support my elderly housebound parents . I can’t express our gratitude enough. Every member of staff is so helpful especially at point of delivery. You can order the night before for delivery the next day or telephone orders through also. The online ordering has also been made a lot easier by a system upgrade in last 18 months or so and you can tag favourite products for repeat ordering. The shop itself is clean , well stocked with local produce too and the numerous staff are always helpful. Some prices may be higher in chain supermarkets but Dikes wins on service and helpfulness particularly for our needs. Thank you so much . Mrs B Davis
