This rustic Italian blue gives new meaning to beer cheese. Made by the Rosso family in the Biella region of Italy, BirbaBlu gets soaked in blonde ale and covered with malted wheat. This unique process gives the cheese its lightly fermented and fruity essence. Undertones of cooked caramel are also present in every bite. With its prevailing buttery and salty notes, it plays well with something sweet, like a smear of V Smiley Preserves Strawberry Italian Plum Rosewater Jam.

“A dense blue bringing nutty undertones and a sweetness (this comes from soaking in ale), it creates the ultimate cheese for your Aperitivo hour. Slice and eat alongside a Negroni or Prosecco.”

Allergens: Milk

  • The cows’ milk the Rosso family uses to produce their cheese is collected each day from 30 Biellese farms.
  • The milk used is from a native cow breed called the Pezzata Rossa of Oropa.
  • During the ripening process, the cheeses are placed on a board of silver fir and brought to the cellars.
  • The Rosso family uses quality ingredients in their cheese production, including Enrico Terzo’s artisan beers.
Family Owned

Harder blue cheeses can stay fresh for up to two to three weeks in a crisper drawer when wrapped tightly and unopened, while softer blues may start to dry out after approximately two weeks. The best thing to do is keep the cheese in one of your refrigerator drawers or the vegetable bin; this will help to keep your cheese from drying out. Additionally, we recommend storing your blue cheese in the aluminum foil that it comes wrapped in. All cheeses and meats are perishables—by definition they degrade over time—so we encourage our customers to enjoy the cheese while it's in peak condition!
