Composition

It has been described as having a creamy texture with notes of fruitiness, mushroom and nutty flavour.[1] Its composition is crumbly and moist, and it has an overall sweet flavour.[5] After the blue veining within the cheese develops, it is wrapped in foil and then aged for at least five months.[2]
