I only buy crumbles to make my homemade blue cheese dressing which isn't to say they are not important. My supermarket deli puts out its own tub of bleu cheese crumbles and I have always liked them.

My 11 year old first tried it when he was 8. He calls it "Ant Cheese" because he says it taste the same way ants smell like. He doesn't like it but I love it.

Point reyes blue cheese is my favorite. Found on the West coast.

I love blue cheese, I can transform an okay cheese dish into pure delight with blue cheese.

I really miss the blue cheese cubes that came in a jar with herbs and olive oil. Was it Roseburg? Haven't seen that in years.

[stevelogan]

I do like the bleu cheese, i like gargonzola even better

[colleenpiechowski]

Any cave grown bleu cheese from the cool caves in Minnesota is best. Very creamy and flavorful.

Always had a gasoline taste to me 😢❤💕😩👀

[karenughoc]

Why do you use back east but not out here in the west?

[ArkansasBadBoy]

I would devour all of thee, but Boar's Head brand is my personal go-to as is a lot of Boar's Head products.

Maytag blue cheese is hands down the best. Its expensive but its worth it...

[TheConstantSeeker]

Thanks to Lubalin, I learned that "blue cheese has mold in it..."

[cathyjackson]

Roquefort still one of my faves. But too pricey.

[mencken]

Crumbled? Get a chunk of Maytag, or, better, Point Reyes and compare with any of this stuff. There is no “crumble, ” there is only Zool.
