The wheels are made from raw milk, and the word Gex is molded into one face. The paste is ivory, with pale blue-green veins rather than dark heavy marbling. A thin, dry rind runs from off-white to a light yellow.

Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage is a semi-soft blue cheese from Rhône-Alpes in France. It is made from cow's milk, and the paste is ivory to pale yellow with blue veins. The wheels are flat and round, with a thin natural rind that runs from white to gray-blue. The taste is a mild blue, often with hazelnut and a hint of woodland. It is gentler and less salty than many famous French blues.
