Blue d’Élizabeth is a Quebec blue cheese made from cow’s milk, known for its creamy texture and distinctive blue-green veining created by the growth of Penicillium cultures during maturation. Its flavour is rich, tangy, and savoury, balancing the characteristic sharpness of blue cheese with a buttery creaminess and earthy notes. Its natural rind is mottled with ochre-coloured spots, and the cheese is typically aged for around 60 days, developing fruity aromas and a well-balanced saltiness.
