Every wedge of Negroni Blue is a special occasion. This wheel takes its namesake Italian cocktail seriously—it's soaked in gin, sweet vermouth, and bitter liqueur, and every bite is infused with that boozy, botanical, bittersweet essence. The rich, fudgy cheese is the perfect canvas, with a bit of blue piquancy that’s offset by the fruity, jewel-like candied orange peel. It’s a mouthwatering, jaw-dropping centerpiece, served with a cheers-worthy spread of cranberry preserves and duck prosciutto.

“Negroni Blue has ‘it,’ that wow factor. It’s my go-to celebration cheese, since it looks gorgeous and tastes incredible. Serve a big wedge with a batch of negronis, and you’ve got a party.”

  • The negroni is a classic Italian cocktail made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, served with orange peel.
  • The cocktail is said to have been invented by Count Camillo Negroni in Florence in the early 1900s.
  • It’s spirit-forward and bittersweet—those flavors are carried beautifully by high-quality, creamy Italian blue cheese.
  • Negroni Blue is made by Sergio and Susi Moro in Veneto, Italy. Their son Giovanni had the idea to create cheeses made specifically to pair with cocktails.
  • Negroni Blue is in the vein of other spirit-soaked blues where the booze enhances the complexity of the cheese—like Rogue River Blue or Shakerag Blue—with a decidedly Italian spin.
  • The piquancy of the blue veins is balanced by the boozy sweetness and slight fruitiness of the cheese.

Harder blue cheeses can stay fresh for up to two to three weeks in a crisper drawer when wrapped tightly and unopened, while softer blues may start to dry out after approximately two weeks. The best thing to do is keep the cheese in one of your refrigerator drawers or the vegetable bin; this will help to keep your cheese from drying out. Additionally, we recommend wrapping your blue cheese in aluminum foil.
