Notes

We find that crumbling a block of blue cheese with your fingers is better than going with pre-crumbled cheese.  The texture is creamier.
The blue cheese will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.  It can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
This blue cheese is spectacular poured over a crisp, cold wedge of iceberg lettuce and then topped off with cooked, crumbled bacon and sliced cherry tomatoes.
It's also the perfect dip for Classic Buffalo Wings.
