Bleu de Bresse was born around 1950, following the resumption of economic relations with Italy, which had not exported Gorgonzola cheese since the beginning of the war.
It was born in the department of Ain and its production is located in the vicinity of Bourg-en-Bresse.
Bleu de Bresse is the result of the miniaturization of Saingorlon, which replaced it at the time. Its shape is cylindrical. Its weight can be 2kg 500 grams. It is matured dry, in a cool and humid cellar, depending on its size, for two to four weeks.
It has a fine, smooth, blue rind and a light, supple, melting and creamy paste.
