Mitibleu

This product is not currently available.

One bite of this MitiBleu—the Spanish-accented cousin to Roquefort—has us thinking big: Beautiful pastas dripping with melted cheese and an avocado salad; plates of chocolate and cheese; bulbous glasses of red wines. It is an ambitious cheese, and a gorgeous one. Set it out for a plate for an hour, then tuck in: The flavors will have bloomed. The funk and slight mineral tang linger, the texture is dreamily soft and spreadable. MitiBleu is a cheese-lover's cheese.

Here's what you get:

  • 1/2 lb of Miti Bleu cheese

Creamy Crumbles

Raw sheep’s milk forms the base of this Spanish beauty laced with blue-green veins. Sheep grazing in the mountains of La Mancha have produced an exceptionally aromatic, mineral, pungent cheese. Murray’s recommends letting it come to room temperature to maximize creaminess (it will become almost paste-like). It would be the most-talked about piece on a cheese plate, but Miti Bleu also makes an ideal partner for crostini, salads, fruit, and even steak. Try it with Sauternes, Sherry, or even an off-dry Riesling.
