Bleu de Brebis “Fromagerie Laqueuille”

Creamy ewe’s-milk blue with a salty-spicy edge and a gentle sweetness underneath.

Made by Fromagerie Laqueuille, Bleu de Brebis combines the richness of sheep’s milk with fine blue veining. It is full-flavoured without becoming aggressive, with a buttery texture that carries the salt, spice and earthy notes particularly well.

Origin: Cantal, France
Milk: Pasteurised ewe’s milk
Style: Blue
Texture: Rich, buttery and lightly crumbly
Intensity: Medium to strong
Rennet: Animal rennet
Shelf life: Around 7–10 days

The paste starts creamy and smooth, then the blue veins bring salt, spice and earthy depth. Sheep’s milk adds natural richness and a faint sweetness.

Serve at room temperature so the paste softens and the sweetness becomes more obvious. It is excellent with pears, toasted nuts or rye bread.

Sauternes and other sweet wines are classic partners. Tawny Port also works beautifully.

Fruit and floral sweetness soften the salty blue spice, while something crisp keeps the pairing balanced.
