Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Cow milk, raw, thermised or pasteurised, is seeded with Penicillium roqueforti and set with rennet at 30–34 °C. The curd is cut, stirred until each grain has a thin skin, and drained in moulds without pressing; then it is salted all over and pierced once. It ripens bare in humid cellars, and blue-green veins grow along the air channels; it may be sold from day 28.
Penicillium roqueforti cultures; other bacteria, yeast and mould cultures may be added

At a glance
Cow milk, raw, thermised or pasteurised, is seeded with Penicillium roqueforti and set with rennet at 30–34 °C. The curd is cut, stirred until each grain has a thin skin, and drained in moulds without pressing; then it is salted all over and pierced once. It ripens bare in humid cellars, and blue-green veins grow along the air channels; it may be sold from day 28. Made in 8 steps over 56 days. The longest step, hold cold until day 28, takes at least 28 days (Ministère de l'agriculture 2016) and runs at 0–6 °C (Ministère de l'agriculture 2016). Penicillium roqueforti and Lactococcus and Streptococcus, the predominant bacteria during ripening do most of the fermenting.
Bleu d'Auvergne is a cow-milk blue, unlike Roquefort, which uses sheep milk. Its grains are stirred until they skin over, so they stay apart in an unpressed curd. A single piercing then lets air in so the blue can grow through the mass.
Milk
Cow milk only, raw, thermised or pasteurised; cows graze at least 150 days a year
Shape and size
Flat cylinder 19–23 cm across and 8–11 cm high, 2–3 kg
Fat
At least 50 % fat in dry matter; dry matter at least 51 %
Farm (fermier) Bleu d'AuvergneMilk of at most two milkings, renneted within 16 h of the oldest
Dairy (laitier) Bleu d'AuvergneMilk pre-ripened at 6–14 °C for at least 4 h before renneting
Safety
The paste starts acid, near pH 5, and becomes less acid as the mould grows, reaching about pH 6.2 by two months in one study. Freezing the milk, curd or fresh cheese and modified-atmosphere storage are banned; those are product rules, not safety limits. The milk may be raw, thermised or pasteurised. Where it is raw, ANSES advises pregnant women, young children, people over 65 and people with weak immunity not to eat such a cheese, because of Listeria, Salmonella and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli.
Bleu d'Auvergne appeared in the mid-19th century in the Puy-de-Dôme, west of the Monts d'Auvergne. It began on farms and spread to dairies in the second half of that century, helped by Antoine Roussel, who introduced piercing. The ministry of agriculture defined it in 1934, and it became an appellation d'origine in March 1975 It was long an alternative to Cantal for small producers who had too little milk to make a Cantal wheel.
