Tasting Notes & Pairings

Flavour: Fine blue-green veins run through a moist, cohesive old-ivory paste. Aromas of damp slate and herbs (sage, marjoram) lead to a full-flavoured, earthy, and savoury experience with moderate salt and acidity.

Wine (recommended from our region):
Pairs beautifully with late harvest Riesling, Vidal, Tawny Port, or ice cider from Quebec or Prince Edward County, which complement the creamy, tangy blue flavors.

Craft Beer or Cider:
Try an oatmeal stout or dark, rich ales to complement the earthy, buttery notes.

Craft Beverage (Non-Alcoholic):
A refreshing non-alcoholic apple cider, sparkling water, or unsweetened iced tea cleanses the palate and highlights the complex blue mold flavors.
