Blu di Capra

Pure goat’s milk blue cheese, with a non-edible, bloomy, gray-green rind.

The blue veining provides a delicate balance with an intense, bold, and savory flavor, featuring pleasantly spicy and herbaceous notes on the finish.

A cheese with character, reserved for those who love complex flavors.

Blu di Capra is recognized by its wrinkled, gray-green, and bloomy rind — non-edible — which encloses a white paste marbled with intense blue-green veining.

The cheesemaker’s skill in creating holes that allow mold to develop creates a delicate balance: the sweetness and softness of the paste clash with the bold roughness of the blue veining, dominated by hints of mushroom and undergrowth.

The finish is long and persistent, with a spiciness that grows gradually — a blue cheese with character, for those who love complex cheeses.

What the palate reveals

Beneath the bloomy rind lies a surprising paste: soft and sweet upon opening, bold and savory in the body, with a long, spicy finish of mushroom and undergrowth.

Sensory Profile

Aromas: On the nose, a clear goat personality meets fungal and earthy hints of noble mold, with an animal and mature hay background — a complex and engaging profile.

On the palate: In the mouth, the spiciness grows gradually: the goat acidity dialogues with the saltiness of the blue veining in an unexpected balance, for a long and persistent finish.
