Exploring the Elegance of Grand Noir

By Helen Hunt on 06/06/24

Made using the very best fresh milk from regional farms in Bavaria, Germany. Grand Noir cheese is a culinary gem, consistently winning awards since 2016. Celebrated for its distinct flavour profile. This silky and creamy delight boasts a lineage steeped in tradition, tracing back centuries to the region's artisanal cheese-making heritage.

With its striking appearance – the distinctive black wax enveloping a creamy, ivory interior – Grand Noir captivates the senses from first glance to final taste. The contrast of its dark exterior against the creamy centre hints at the complex flavours awaiting you with each bite.

What sets Grand Noir apart is not just its appearance, but it’s exquisite taste. A balance of tangy and buttery notes with a delicately spicy character on the palate, leaving a lingering impression that is both luxurious and satisfying. A statement cheese on a cheeseboard complemented by sweet flavours such as fruit, honey or chutney or savoury combinations of nuts, crusty bread and crackers. This cheese pairs equally well with a cold glass of Champagne or semi-dry Riesling as with a stout beer, it really is a crowd pleaser.

Each wheel is lovingly crafted by skilled artisans using time-honoured techniques, ensuring that every slice maintains the cheese's signature quality and character. With each bite, it invites us to savour not just the taste, but the passion, and artistry that have made it a beloved treasure in the world of fine cheese.
