Dragon's Breath Blue

Dragon's Breath Blue is a regional cheese from Nova Scotia, Canada. It is a soft surface-ripened blue cheese that is sold in a black wax casing. The texture of the cheese ranges from soft and creamy to a hard and buttery texture. The cheese often produces a flavour-rich briny liquid. It has a strong aroma and pungent taste.[1]

The cheese is produced by Willem van Denhoek at That Dutchman's Farm, in Upper Economy, Nova Scotia.[2][3]

The cheese appeared in the twelfth episode of the second season of Iron Chef, where the show's "secret ingredient" was cheese. It was made available to contestants, but was not used during the competition.
