Bleu de Saint-Jean | Local Cheese From Orne, France | TasteAtlas

Bleu de Saint-Jean

Bleu de Saint-Jean is a French cheese originating from Orne in Normandy. This blue cheese is made from raw cow’s milk and it weighs about 1 kilogram. Underneath its natural rind that’s full of small craters, the texture is hard, dense, and supple, with blue-grey marbling running throughout the body.


The aromas are buttery and reminiscent of stables, while the flavors are pleasant, balanced, and buttery. Bleu de Saint-Jean is aged for at least 5 weeks before consumption.
