Blu de Cuneo

Producer: Caseificio Rabbia Origin: Piedmont, Italy

This spoonable blue comes in a convenient six pound wheel that is bursting with mouthwatering flavors. This cheese is the collective effort of a recently formed association of traditional cheesemakers from the Cuneo area. Each producer involved crafts this enticing blue cheese that is typical of the area according to traditional recipes and methods, to preserve and recognize this local cheese officially. Blu di Cuneo is similar in consistency to its neighboring blue somewhere between a gorgonzola dolce and gorgonzola cremificato, but inoculated with the p. roqueforti mold for a distinct difference in flavor from the former: rich and sweet notes of cultured cream intermingle with more savory mineral notes with a bit of brine on the finish, delivered in a compellingly creamy and pudding like paste sure to please most palates.
