Story
Montagnolo Blue is a creamy soft cheese ripened slowly at low temperatures. This cold maturation process slowly develops the aromas and flavour of cheese resulting in a very creamy interior and ever so slight hint of blue cheese spiciness. The Montagnolo wheels are covered in white mould and are pierced with a blue culture that produces a blue marbling throughout the creamy interior. Notes of mushroom, cream, earthiness and nice salt balance make this a great entry level blue cheese
Producer
Käserei Champignon Hofmeister was founded in 1908 by cheesemaker Julius Hirschle and cheesemonger Leopold Immler. In the 1960s the company was bought by brothers Josef and Georg Hofmeister who’s father was an artisanal cheesemaker. Together the brother grew the dairy into what it has become today, one of the largest dairy co-ops in Germany, exporting their cheeses to over 50 countries. The company is still family run today and maintains its dedication to quality made cheeses, marrying technology with over 100 years of German cheesemaking.
