Blu

Three-milk blue cheese with a non-edible, grey-green, bloomy rind.

The remarkable blue veining creates a surprising contrast between the sweetness and softness of the paste and the bold roughness of the molds, dominated by hints of mushroom and undergrowth.

A tasting cheese.

Blu is recognized by its remarkable blue veining, which uniformly pervades both the rind and the tender paste, achieved by piercing holes that allow the molds to develop.

This delicate balance, made possible by the cheesemaker’s skill, creates a surprising contrast between the sweetness and softness of the paste and the bold roughness of the blue veining, dominated by hints of mushroom and undergrowth.

The sweetness of cow’s milk, the savoriness of sheep’s milk, and the acidity of goat’s milk integrate without ever overpowering one another — one of the most accomplished expressions of three-milk blue cheese.
