Description

Saga Blue Cheese is a type of semi-soft cheese characterized by its blue veins or mold spots, which give it an intense and slightly spicy flavor, ideal for enhancing a wide variety of culinary recipes. This cheese is made by inoculating it with Penicillium roqueforti mold, which provides its distinctive color and characteristic aroma.

Its origin is inspired by the European tradition of blue cheeses, although Saga Blue Cheese is a recognized brand in several Latin American countries for its quality and balanced flavor, which combines creaminess with a strong and pungent touch, perfect for sauces, salads, pastas, and pizza bases.

Properties: This cheese is a good source of protein and calcium, essential for bone health. Additionally, it contains fats and sodium, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Its intense flavor allows for the use of small amounts to enhance the taste of dishes.

Synonyms in Hispanic America: In various regions, blue cheese may also be known as Roquefort cheese, blue cheese, or simply blue mold cheese. However, Saga Blue Cheese specifically refers to that particular brand and variety, which is easily found in supermarkets and specialty stores.
