The special ripening in the Vlieland Bunkers
The Vlielander Bunker Blue is a cheese with a great story. On the Wadden island of Vlieland there are old water bunkers deeply hidden under the sand and dunes. These bunkers offer a unique, natural microclimate with a constant temperature and high humidity. This turns out to be the perfect and most ideal environment for maturing cheese. By letting the cheeses rest in these bunkers, they develop a complex, slightly earthy flavor that is unparalleled.
This specific blue cheese is made from the best organic cow's milk. During preparation, the mold culture Penicillium roqueforti is added, which provides the beautiful blue veining in the dairy. The combination of the creamy, soft structure of the cheese and the spicy, characteristic taste of the blue mold creates a true taste explosion. The Vlielander Bunker Blue is a fantastic cheese for a luxurious cheese board, delicious in a creamy sauce over pasta or as a flavor enhancer in a fresh salad.
