The cheese course


Marbled with bluish-green veins that develop after the cheese is pierced and air is allowed to enter, this classic cheese ranges in texture from crumbly (Stilton, Roquefort) to creamy (Gorgonzola). It always has a wonderfully complex, piquant flavor, and varies greatly in strength and pungency. Its rind can have a fine, white bloom or can be tan, thick and gritty.
