Bleu is the traditional French word, where the "fromage bleu" was invented. Blue is English. In American stores it can be spelled either way, though many bleu cheeses are imported from Canada or France. If it's from a local dairy, you'll probably be buying blue cheese.

Either is correct. 'Bleu' means 'blue' in French. That is why you see the cheese referred to as both blue cheese and bleu cheese.
