Danish Blue Cheese Options
Regarding the Blue Cheese, the Danish blue cheese choice is very specific for a maximum creamy flavor. It’s like no other. But, regular blue is fine too. The Danish blue cheese is what makes this a gourmet salad, by the way. Most grocery stores carry it. You basically look on the label for a manufactured location which might state “Denmark”. A common brand of Danish blue cheese is “Boars Head”, “Rosenburg”, and “Castello”. Even Wal-Mart sells one or more brands of Danish blue cheeses.
Danish blue cheese takes about 8-12 months to properly mature to gets its unique, creamy flavor. Sometimes, in finer restaurants, the chef will broil some atop a good steak. The next closest flavor of Danish blue cheese is said to be Gorgonzola cheese. Here’s a great article on the difference between those 2 cheeses.
