Questions about Danish blue cheese
How do you use Danish blue cheese in a salad dressing?
Mash it with yoghurt or crème fraîche, a little lemon juice and black pepper, then loosen with water until pourable. It is already salty, so taste before adding salt.
How do you melt Danish blue cheese into a sauce?
Warm cream gently, crumble in the cheese and stir until it melts; keep the sauce below a simmer so it stays smooth. Toss it through pasta or spoon it over baked potatoes.
What goes well with Danish blue cheese?
Its salty, creamy flavour works well with pears, apples, walnuts and honey. Try it crumbled over a pear and walnut salad, or serve it with oatcakes and fruit.
How should you store Danish blue cheese after opening?
Wrap it in cheese paper or baking parchment, then put it in a lidded container in the fridge to limit drying and strong odours. Keep it separate from foods that readily absorb smells.
Can you freeze Danish blue cheese?
You can freeze it, but thawed cheese may become crumbly, so it is better for cooking than a cheeseboard. Wrap it tightly, freeze in small portions and thaw in the fridge.
Can you use another blue cheese instead of Danish blue?
Yes. Gorgonzola is a good substitute in sauces and pasta, while Stilton is firmer and more assertive; start with a little less and add more to taste.
How is Danish blue different from Roquefort?
Danish blue is made from cow’s milk, while Roquefort is made from sheep’s milk. Both are blue-veined and salty, but Roquefort often has a sharper, more pronounced flavour.
