Jihočeská Niva is a blue cheese made from cow's milk, produced in the South Bohemia region in the Czech Republic since 1951. It must weigh approximately 2,8 kilogrammes and has a washed rind with a semi-waxy finish and blue-green mould on the creamy to light-brown coloured exterior.
On the interior, it is creamy white to pale yellow in colour with blue-green mouldy veins and marks from the needle pricking dispersed throughout the cheese. Its texture is crumbly and semi-soft while the taste is salty, intensely aromatic, sharp and pungent.
For the best experience, pair it with black olives, whole grain crackers, celery, cucumbers, sliced pears or meat such as beef, ham and poultry and a glass of dessert wine.
