One of the longest cheese-making traditions in the Auvergne, Bleu d'Auvergne was born in the mid-19th century. The idea came to an Auvergne farmer around 1845 to seed white cheeses with blue mold from rye bread and then pierce his cheese with a needle so that the air entering through the holes would allow the mold to develop. Gradually, other Auvergnats used this recipe and their cheeses became quite famous.
