Grand Noir, produced by Käserei Champignon Hofmeister in Germany, is a premium blue cheese encased in black wax. It is known for its intense, bold flavor and smooth, creamy texture. The cheese is aged for several months, developing a rich, tangy taste with earthy and nutty undertones.


The black wax rind helps preserve the cheese's moisture and enhances its distinctive characteristics. Grand Noir pairs well with fresh fruits, nuts, and robust wines.
