Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage is a mild pasteurized
natural rind cow's milk blue cheese originally
produced by monks in the Rhône-Alpes region of
France in the 14th century. Now made in the
Dauphiné area, the cheese has been a protected
Appellation d'origine Contrôlée since 1998.
As a requirement, the cheese has to be
composed of milk from Montbéliard, Abondance
or Villard cows. The cheese is unpressed and
uncooked and contains the mold Penicillium
roqueforti. In Larousse Grand Dictionnaire
Universel of the 19th century, King Francis is
described as being quite fond of the cheese.
