People like to use blue cheese of one sort or another as an
ingredient.  Everybody's different.

that for the most part when melted and included in
other things it had very little of the flavor or
sharpness that i liked about it.  so i stopped wasting
it that ways and only have it cold in things i want it
to be prominent in.  salad dressing and crumbled on top
right at serving is now how i do it.

I don't like blue cheese at all.  My husband only likes it
cold.

  i don't know if anyone else notices or cares about
this sort of issue, but i sure do since it is a fairly
expensive item.

Perhaps people like the mellowing effect of combining it
with other ingredients.  And, of course, not everybody cares
that it's "fairly expensive".  The store brand is about
$12/pound.  Stilton at Amazon is about $25/pound.  Gorgonzola
is about the same price at various places.
