CAMBOZOLA® Black Label is creamy, aromatic, and gently piquant, combining rich dairy flavors with the savory complexity of blue mold. Allow it to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving to help its aroma, flavor, and texture fully develop. Pair it with fresh figs, pears, grapes, walnuts, mushrooms, or crusty bread; the producer specifically recommends seasonal fruit and nuts. For beverages, try a Belgian-style ale, Riesling, Port, dessert wine, or a malty brown ale to complement its creamy richness and blue character.
CAMBOZOLA® was created by master cheesemakers in southern Germany in 1980, with the goal of bringing together the luxurious creaminess of soft-ripened cheese and the refined character of blue mold. The result was a distinctive German cheese that has since developed an international following. CAMBOZOLA® Black Label takes that concept a step further, offering a premium expression distinguished by delicate blue veins throughout its creamy interior and a fine, naturally developed gray mold on its exterior.
What sets CAMBOZOLA® Black Label apart is its carefully controlled maturation. The producer uses a particularly long maturation period at a low temperature, a process designed to develop the cheese’s refined aroma and exceptional creaminess. The result is a soft-ripened cheese with a velvety consistency and more distinctive blue character while maintaining the rich creaminess for which CAMBOZOLA® is known. Its contrasting molds also give Black Label a striking appearance, with gray natural mold surrounding an ivory-colored interior marked by fine blue veining.
