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 the van den Hoek family at That Dutchman's Farm, in Upper Economy.[2][3] In April 2016 it was awarded Best Blue Cheese in Canada.[4]
