Why You’ll Love This

A rich german blue with a dark natural rind, creamy paste, and restrained blue intensity. It offers enough personality for an interesting cheese board while remaining versatile in the kitchen. The texture and flavor make it especially rewarding when served at room temperature, where the full character of the cow’s milk can unfold.

What Makes It Special

Grand Noir combines the plush texture of a soft-ripened cheese with fine blue veining, giving it depth without the aggression of stronger blues.

Perfect Pairings

Pair it with pears, dark bread, walnuts, steak, roasted mushrooms, port, stout, or Pinot Noir.

Serving Ideas

Serve in wedges, melt over steak, add to mushroom pasta, or pair with pears and walnuts.
