At first when I thought about blue cheese dip for chicken wings, I wondered, "Is this German?" 

Wow, I was surprised when I did some research. There's a blue cheese called Cambozola that's very, very German. It's often called blue brie. It's a bit milder than the regular blue cheeses one can buy, but it's fully German. 

Actually, it's made of cow's milk with Italian Gorgonzola and a French triple cream cheese. It's patented and produced by the German Champignon company since the 1970's.
