Blauer Schnee

Jumi Blauer Schnee – 200g
The "Blue Snow" of the Swiss Alps – A Rare Mountain Blue Cheese

Description:
From the visionary Jumi affineurs comes Blauer Schnee ("Blue Snow"), an extraordinary blue cheese that captures the pristine beauty of Switzerland’s winter peaks. This 200g wedge is crafted from raw cow’s milk in the Bernese Oberland, then aged in natural alpine caves where the cold, humid air encourages delicate blue veins to bloom like frost patterns.

Unlike sharp traditional blues, Blauer Schnee surprises with its creamy, buttery paste and elegant mineral tang – a refined balance of sweet creaminess and subtle blue mold piquancy. The snowy-white interior with pale blue marbling makes it one of Switzerland’s most visually striking cheeses.

Artisan Secrets:
✔ High-Altitude Aging – Matured at 1,800m where alpine microbes create unique flavors
✔ Gentle Penicillium – Uses a proprietary blue mold strain for milder, complex veining
✔ Seasonal Rarity – Best produced in winter when cave conditions are ideal
✔ Raw Milk Terroir – Reflects the herbal diversity of summer alpine pastures

Sensory Journey:
🌬 Aroma: Cold cellar, fresh mushrooms, whipped cream
❄ Texture: Dense yet melt-in-mouth, like frozen butter
⛰ Finish: Lingering notes of hazelnuts and wet slate

Perfect Pairings:
• Drinks: Sauternes dessert wine or a nutty Swiss amber ale
• Sweet: Drizzle with chestnut honey or pair with poached pears
• Savory: Crumble over venison carpaccio or walnut bread

Storage: Keep wrapped in foil at 4°C. Remove 30 mins before serving to appreciate its alpine chill character.
