Blu del Moncenisio (There is a Blue cheese)
October 17, 2007 
An Italian blue cheese that’s not gorgonzola, Blue del Moncenisio is a cow’s milk cheese from the northwestern most corner of the Piedmont. Slightly firm with rich pungent punch this is a very good cheese but overshadowed by its superiors. I liked it but the flavor was not memorable a few days after tasting it. Like most blue, pair it with a sweet dessert wine like a still or sparkling Moscatto or a stronger Nebbiola that withstand its force. Name: Blu del Moncenisio
