Murray's Cheese - Blu di Bufala

We’re hesitant to clump this into the blue category, as this cheese stands alone. The rich, nutty water buffalo milk, usually reserved purely for fresh mozzarella production, lends a sweet backdrop that envelops the mild-yet-earthy blue mold. Slightly gamy, salty, tart, and creamy, the rustic rind and distinctive square shape further our confusion. But at a certain point, we don’t care what you call it: this Blu di Bufala is simply divine.

Here's what you get:

1/2 lb of Blu di Bufala cheese

Bergamo Buffalo

In a nation known for centuries of food tradition it’s odd to find such an adventurous diversion from the norm— but we’re glad it exists. And we have two brave brothers, Bruno and Alfio, to thank for that. They deviated from their Bergamo-based standard cattle operation in 2001 by importing some water buffalo from southern Italy. By 2005, they’d made a splash with truly distinctive aged buffalo milk cheeses. This buffalo-based blue is particularly impressive alongside Moscato d’Asti from the neighboring Piedmont region.
