Blu Gins®

Blu Gins® – blue cheese aged in Roby Marton Gin, with spices and white chocolate

🧀 Cow’s milk blue cheese aged in Roby Marton Gin and a fine blend of spices in the rind. Decorated with white chocolate.

As Antonio Carpenedo says, cheese always starts with an idea. Blugins was born on the occasion of Antonio’s 50th anniversary in the business. The family came up with an original idea: pairing cheeses with cocktails and, thanks also to the collaboration with a great Treviso bartender, specific cocktails were created for the occasion to go with our creations.

From this path of strong innovation and research, the Carpenedo Family decided to share this project with Roberto Marton and his prestigious Gin.

After two years of trials, in 2017, the right T.U.T.A. (Temperatura, Umidità, Tempo e Ambiente: temperature, humidity, time and environment) was finally found. And here is an intriguing cow’s milk blue cheese that marries perfectly with one of the world’s best-loved spirits.

The name Blugins crowns a product that aims at contemporary style and innovation of taste. Gin and cheese are not only a perfect pairing from a sensory and gastronomic point of view, they also represent the fusion of cultures, stories and passions that speak of the desire for pleasure and beauty. Blugins is dedicated to those who dislike the banal, to those who love to dare at the table and in life.

SIGHT: Blugins is wrapped in an ingenious packaging that recalls an original fabric pocket. The pearly white of the wheel is enriched with small flakes of the spices used in the distillation of the gin. When cut, you can appreciate the compactness and homogeneity of the veining and the particular creaminess of the paste.

TOUCH: The paste is compact and at the same time delicately creamy. The veining does not form a drop as in the most common blue cheeses but remains impalpable and delicately melted into the paste, thanks to the action of the Gin.

SMELL: A fragrant creation, a little alcoholic, sweet, elegant, fine and decidedly intriguing. Sensations of fine aromatic herbs and floral pleasantness blend pleasantly with the fragrant essence of the blue-veined cream.

TASTE: The aromatic expression of the Gin intoxicates the palate, finding in the creaminess of the cheese an ideal companion. The blue notes are elegant, noticeably spiced, slightly piquant and finely alcoholic.

💡 How to enjoy it:
✔ As a cheese for meditation
✔ With a Gin-based cocktail, for an ideal pairing
✔ In delicious “appetizers”
✔ In a risotto
✔ In creative “unconventional food”
