Blue Cheese Price Questions
- What are the typical grading criteria for blue cheese in trade?
- Blue cheese is graded by its moisture content, fat percentage, and the extent of blue veining, which is produced by Penicillium roqueforti. The grading also considers texture, flavor intensity, and whether the cheese is whole, sliced, or block form.
- How should blue cheese be stored and transported to preserve quality?
- Blue cheese should be kept at temperatures between 2 °C and 4 °C and protected from excessive humidity to prevent surface mold growth. It is usually packed in sealed, food‑grade containers or vacuum‑wrapped film to limit oxygen exposure during transport.
