Aura cheese
Aura is a blue cows' milk cheese produced in Äänekoski, by the Finnish dairy company Valio. It takes its name from the Aura river, which runs through the city of Turku.
The cheese is available in two varieties; the normal variety is matured for 6 weeks, whereas the stronger 'Aura Gold' matured for 12 weeks. It is somewhat similar to Roquefort in taste and texture. It is marketed in the United States under the name Midnight Blue by Valio's import company Finlandia Cheese.
