Bleu de Combremont is made from cow’s milk that meets the requirements for Gruyère quality but is treated differently. Due to the blue mold cultures, the cheeses need to be taken directly from the salt brine to a cellar nearby, where they are ripened and maintained in compliance with strict climatic and microflora parameters. There the wonderful taste unfolds, and its one-of-a-kind appearance develops. Its special shape has already granted it the nickname “cinder block blue”.
Bleu de Combremont is creamy-buttery and balanced, tastes slightly peppery with hints of mushrooms and a sweet umami aromatic finish. Thanks to its creamy consistency, our bleu is spreadable and therefore tastes particularly good with a fruit bread or crackers. We recommend dried fruit or honey with a sweet white wine pairing.

Christa Egli’s 14 lb wheels are washed with oak extract, then aged under oak planks for 10 months. The resulting cheese has the dense, eye filled texture familiar to Alpine cheese lovers, with flavors of pineapple, macadamia and, unsurprisingly, oak barrel.
Raclette’s balanced earthy flavor and sweetness are perfect to slather over potatoes, meat and winter root vegetables. The wheel or square can be cut in half, placed in a special Raclette holder to hold the melting cheese in place, and served in the traditional way.
