Also called Danablu cheese, Danish Blue cheese is a rich cow's-milk cheese, milder and less complex than Roquefort, and not quite as moody. Ideally, it is a semi-soft cheese with a milk-white look but with a delicate network of blue-green veins, with a creamy, spreadable texture with unevenly spaced holes. It cuts easily and can become rather crumbly at times.
