story
this fancy cheese is created directly by the farmer. he receives the blue and white mold cultures from Peter from Belp. There the cultures are immediately added to the fresh milk, the blue mold can only develop when it comes into contact with oxygen, which is also the reason why the blue hirni remains beautifully white inside.
each hirni is unique because it contains two different types of mold. These sometimes come together to form a unit, other times they go their separate ways – that's just how life works.

character
at the beginning the blue hirni touches the tip of the tongue with velvet gloves, only later does it ignite its full bouquet. the dough literally melts on the tongue, its creamy texture lovingly nestles against the palate. This cheese gets that certain from its roasted aromas. The whole thing is rounded off with a light acidity, which offers a refreshing experience. When older, the cheese has a peppery note that hits at the back of the pallet in ways delightful to only blue cheese lovers.

playground
this cheese ranges from white, light blue, blue, blue with white dots to dark blue, black.
