Blue Cheese

20250711 #breakfastdiary 1448, 24°C/clear Blue cheese is aged with blue mold introduced during production. Because of the distinctive smell of the mold, it tends to be a real love-it-or-hate-it cheese. I used to wonder how you're supposed to tell freshly unwrapped blue cheese apart from blue cheese that's actually gone bad and grown mold, but human senses are surprisingly good at handling that kind of risk assessment. You just know, by looking at it, this is going to make you sick. Tomato and zucchini salad with fresh blue cheese

1 tomato, 1/4 zucchini, a little blue cheese and Parmigiano cheese, olive oil, salt

1. Slice the tomato with a knife and the zucchini with a mandoline, both thin. 2. Layer on a plate in this order: tomato, salt, Parmigiano cheese, zucchini, blue cheese, tomato, salt, Parmigiano cheese, zucchini, salt, blue cheese, olive oil, Parmigiano cheese.
