Question

What is the difference if there is, between blue cheese and roquefort dressing

Answer 1

slight difference, but if you like those two try gorgonzola, I think it is the best of the three!

Answer 2

Yes there is a difference.

Roquefort is a bleu veined cheese from France. And it can only be called that if it the cheese comes from France.

"Blue" Cheese is the US equivalent.

Different bacteria. Similar flavors. But Roquefort is the better quality cheese.

Answer 3

They are both blue cheese dressings. If it just says blue cheese it couls contain any blue cheese.

Answer 4

Roquefort has matures for longer, and therefore is slightly tangier in taste than danish blue, which is more pure in it's "blue" taste.

The dressings will be different accordingly.  

Answer 5

I am a former chef and most are right, one very different issues is roquefort is made with sheep's milk and has a different kind of bacteria used to inoculate the cheese, Danish is aged in a cool humidity controlled environment, and roquefort like stilton from England is dry aged and in a cave or humid area also but not the same as the Danish blue.

All are basically the same in the process and making but the fat, types of milk and bacterias used.
