Description

Cambozola Black Label comes to us from Bavaria, Germany. It is a premium, award-winning variation of Kaserei Champignon’s Cambozola line of blues. You haven’t experienced the best in decadent, creamy blue until you’ve tried this cheese. It goes through a longer ripening time in special cold cellars becoming a triple-cream, soft ripened masterpiece. The cheese has a unique natural gray mold on the outside and a subtle and exquisite blue veining on the inside, and is a cheese both blue fans and novices will love.
