BLUE CHEESE - Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola Dolce, Shropshire Blue, Danish Blue - Episode 7

Blue cheese special! Today I look at a whole group of amazing cheeses - those with a blue vein.

Roquefort is one of the most popular cheeses in the world with it's amazing heritage and character - but is it "The King Of Cheese"?

Long Clawson is one of just a handful of dairies entitled to make the classic English blue, Stilton. A robust cheese that never backs down from the first salty touch to the lingering blue bitterness, all perfectly balanced.

Italy's delectable Gorgonzola Dolce may look a little like Roquefort, but they are quite dissimilar. The cream sweetness of this gooey cheese balanced with a delicate accent of blue punctuation. What a cheese!

Shropshire Blue may sound like a heritage, artisanal cheese from an ancient dairy but is relatively a new kid on the block. This certainly does not mean that it lacks breeding, character or balance. A fantastic alternative to Stilton for those who find Stilton just a little too much.

Finally, our Scandinavian guest and a personal favourite of mine, Danish Blue or Danblu. I falsely claim in the video that this cheese does not have any protection of origin but I was quite incorrect! This is another salty, full flavoured blue but once again, balance and character save the day and provide a unique experience.

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did filming (and eating!) Please leave any comments below and make sure you subscribe to know when the next episode is out.

Roquefort cheese is so good I could put myself into a coma eating the stuff. Just got done with your dolce video, cool stuff I enjoy how you articulate descriptions of cheeses. Subscribed!

I love everything about this video! 😂 I love how clear and obvious the name is - Rufus Eats Cheese! You definitley know what to expect. 😂
At first I saw a thumbnail and was like, "who the heck would watch a 20 minute video about a guy eating cheese!?!?" Well...apparently I would! 😂
In all seriousness, he does a great job of explaining clearly and simply (not snobbish or uppity) the different experiences from each type of cheese. Bravo!

Stilton. Best cheese on the planet. Smells like dead body, tastes Devine.

I had Danish Blue cheese in Italy 2 years ago and fell in love with it. I finally found it in my country, I'll go buy some tomorrow! I'm beyond excited, it's such a great cheese. Gotta visit Denmark!

My first video with 1k views! Thank you all so very much 🙏 Perhaps I should celebrate with a little cheese...?

I'm a big fan of stinky BLUE cheese!!!💙😁

[boijorzee]

Blue cheese is definitely an acquired taste and I totally understand why people don't like it. I learned to enjoy it back when I was a kid and I think Gorgonzola was the first one I realy liked. I kinda love them all now. 😊

My God, that's quite an amount of Roquefort to be shoveling into one's mouth in one go.
Gorgonzola and Danish Blue are the best.
So glad I found this channel!!

Roquefort, Stilton and mature cheddar have me covered for all my cheese needs. From a character filled blue with soda bread and butter when i'm off my head on gin to a lovely melted Cheddar on a hamburger, these three fulfill all that I want from a cheese. Thank Christ for cheese and thank you for a great video.

I like how these cheeses jump up and kick me in the face. the taste is also enjoyable, but I also like how they're strong in the flavor.

I've been adding more cheese to my diet for the vitamin K2 contents. Stilton so far is my favorite in term of flavor and vitamin K2 quantity (494ng/g). It has slightly higher K2 amount than Roquefort, which are higher than Gorgonzola. The other cheeses with very high amount of K2 (~700ng/g) are Camembert, Gouda, and Munster.
In comparison, beef liver only have about 100ng/g.

My favorite is the Gorgonzola dolce, it has the most complex and deep flavor, a combination of sweet, bitter, tart, salty and sour creamy. After it the Roquefort, I like the wet texture and the saltiness.

"let me try another piece just to make sure" hahaha.


just keep going... "nope, still not sure. better try another piece"

I watched this while eating a Saint Agur (modern French blue), which is also lovely.

[timothywebb]

Absolutely love blue cheese, thank you 👊

I’m afraid I’ve come too late to your cheese tasting! Blame YouTube for not offering it to me until now. My heart will always be in the English countryside, so Stilton & Shropshire Blue are at the top of my list. Add to that a raw milk blue called Stichelton, after the Medieval name of the town of Stilton. Well aged, it shares Stilton’s saltiness though not as bitter. Thanks for the lovely presentation of some of my favourite cheeses!

Thanks for this video. I like the Danish blue cheese a lot. Growing up in Denmark it was the only alternative to breast milk. We have many different blue cheeses but I prefer the strong ones with a lot of blue vein. 300 g of salted crackers, 200 g of strong Danish Blue, a knife and Netflix is all you need.

What a great selection, well done! I would add 2 Spanish blue. Cabrales, by far my favorite blue cheese, and his younger brother Valdeon.
