I came across a blue cheese for the first time in Australia. It had a very strong smell like rotten food. And it contained blue mould. The taste was far too strong for me and I hated it! And now? It is one of my favourite cheeses. Since I discovered a soft gooey type of blue cheese, I have been a bit obsessed with it. The soft type and the hard type, both are good for this salad.
