Blue Cheese: Love It or Hate It?

April 11, 2009

With its moldy appearance, pungent smell, and strong flavor, blue cheese is quite a polarizing ingredient. Still, from pizzas to salads, it's a common on many menus. Being a true foodie, I love the rich creaminess of this stinky cheese. How about you?

I tried it at a really nice restaurant, the Addison, for the first time. I tried to be open to it, I really did. It was a Stilton cheese; maybe others are better? To me, it tasted like tires. The taste was so STRONG and so industrial!!! Let's not even go into the texture or the smell! Are there other varieties of blue cheese that are easier on beginners?

i love strong cheese (so i like most blue cheese) but i once tried roquefort, just one bite, and for the next day or so i would almost throw up just reminiscing about its taste.

I've tried different kinds of blue cheese and I gotta say...not for me. Gorgonzola is the only one that is not terrible, but not great either. They all taste inky and waaaaaay too pungent.

i don't like blue cheese dressing, but i LOVE the crumbles in my salads. Paradise Bakery makes the yummiest salad-romaine, craisins, blue cheese crumbles, and ceaser dressing. now i make my own!

i'm not the biggest fan of blue cheese. sometimes with a salad that has cranberries it's a good thing but otherwise i'll stay away from it.

I never used to be a fan but I recently made a gnocchi cheese gratin type thing and used blue cheese...it was delicious, albeit a little smelly.

Blue cheese actually comes in quite a range of flavors and textures, so you can find some less pungent. Roquefort cheese though definitely bites back. Try it in this

I love cheese but if the one cheese I the most that would be blue cheese.

I like it, but it's not my favorite type of cheese. It's a little intense.

Not only do I LOVE it but I am a connoisseur -- and the VERY BEST BLUE CHEESE is definitely POINT REYES ORIGINAL BLUE, made on the farm near San Francisco. This stuff is heaven - :)

I love it & used to eat a lot of it but later found out that not only am I sensative to molds, but have to watch my dairy, too. So, now it's just a REAL treat once in awhile! :feedme:

I like it in certain foods but not always.

Ugh, NASTY!! I can't stand the stuff...it reeks and it tastes like salty vomit. I have a weird thing about mold...it freaks me out for some reason. I can't stand to see any food be moldy; let alone any food that you'd still eat. My husband really loves blue cheese though...he loves this blue cheese sauce I make for steak. I make it, but it makes my kitchen smell like sweat socks for a few days.

Yummers! It's the bomb. Simple snack: plain crackers, loganberry jam and a dollop of bleu cheese - amazing!

LOVE!!! Brush a salmon steak with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper, fresh dill, and good blue cheese crumbles. Bake, and finish with fresh lemon juice. :drool:
