Typical of the Bresse Bleu is a soft dough with small blue spots of mold. The cheese, which has a white mold rind, is made in three different sizes. The largest shape has a diameter of around 10 centimeters and a height of 6.5 centimeters. The cheese then weighs around 500 grams. The smallest cheeses are six centimeters in diameter and weigh 125 grams. They are offered directly to end consumers in this form.
