Blau Ceretà Cheese: The Cerdanya Blue in Every One of Our Cheese Boards

Some cheeses accompany, and some make themselves noticed. Blau Ceretà is one of the latter, which is why it has a permanent place in all of our cheese boards.

Today we’re telling you where it comes from, what it’s like and the best way to enjoy it.

Where it comes from

Blau Ceretà is a Catalan blue cheese created by Pere Pujol of the family-run dairy Productes Làctics Molí de Ger. The business operates from a former mill in the municipality of Ger, in the heart of the Cerdanya, more than a thousand metres above sea level, beside the River Segre. The family has farmed for generations, raising Friesian cows, and makes the cheese with milk from their own farm.

The name has a story too: “ceretà” refers to the Cerdanya, the region where it’s made, and recalls the Ceretani, a pre-Roman people who lived there.

How it’s made

It is an artisan cheese made from raw cow’s milk. Only milk, salt and cultures go into it, with no additives, preservatives or colourings. It matures for around three months in chambers with controlled humidity and temperature, a process that allows its blue veining to develop.

What it’s like: creamy and full of character, yet approachable

Inside, it has an ivory-coloured paste with a few bluish veins, and its natural rind is covered with a whitish mould. On the palate it is creamy and subtle, with a salty, slightly spicy note that makes it clear it’s a blue, but without the intensity that can sometimes put people off. It also leaves a lingering taste of milk, with a rich, savoury finish.

Why we choose it for our boards

That’s very common. Blau Ceretà is a great introduction, because it’s creamy and balanced. Try a small amount with something sweet alongside: the contrast changes everything.
