Frequently Asked Questions About Black Cheese
What is Black Cheese?
Black Cheese is a dark-colored, traditionally fermented cheese with an intense flavor. It is often made from goat’s milk, though the milk and production method can vary by producer.
Why is Black Cheese black?
Black Cheese gets its dark appearance from its traditional production and fermentation process. The shade can vary between products, and its natural dark color should not be confused with new, fuzzy mold growing on the cheese.
What does Black Cheese taste like?
Black Cheese usually has a strong, distinctive flavor that can be sharp and savory. Its intensity varies with the production and aging method, so try a small piece first if you are unfamiliar with it.
Is Black Cheese the same as blue cheese?
No, Black Cheese is not the same as blue cheese. Black Cheese is identified by its dark color and traditional fermentation, while blue cheese is known for the blue-green mold veins that develop inside it.
How do you serve Black Cheese?
Serve Black Cheese in thin slices on a cheese board or with bread and fresh vegetables. Its bold flavor pairs well with milder foods, which can keep it from overpowering the rest of the meal.
Can you cook with Black Cheese?
Yes, you can add Black Cheese to cooked dishes, but its intense flavor may dominate more delicate ingredients. Start with a small amount, taste the dish, and adjust any added salt after the cheese is mixed in.
Does Black Cheese melt?
Black Cheese may soften when heated, but how well it melts depends on its moisture and aging. If you want to use it as a topping, test a small piece first rather than expecting it to melt like a mild melting cheese.
Is Black Cheese made from goat’s milk?
Black Cheese is often made from goat’s milk, but that is not guaranteed for every product. The milk used can differ between producers, so check the product details if you need to know its exact source.
How should you store Black Cheese after cutting it?
Keep cut Black Cheese refrigerated and wrap it well or place it in a sealed container to limit drying and odor transfer. Follow the producer’s storage instructions, and discard it if it develops an unusual smell or new fuzzy mold.
Can you eat the rind of Black Cheese?
Sometimes, but the rind of Black Cheese is not necessarily edible on every product. Whether to eat it depends on how that particular rind was made; if the producer does not say, remove the rind and eat the interior.

What is Black Cheese?
Black cheese is a dark-coloured, traditionally fermented cheese, often made with goat’s milk. Its precise origin and production vary by region, so the flavour and firmness can differ from one maker to another. The name points to its distinctive appearance and bold character rather than to one single, standard recipe.
Where it is made, it can be served in small pieces as part of a local cheese spread; elsewhere, try it on a cheese board or with bread and fresh vegetables. Its savoury, intense flavour means a little goes a long way. It is protein-rich and also relatively high in fat, with 22 g of protein per 100 g. Pair a modest portion with crisp vegetables or fruit for a lighter plate.
