Barista by Groendal & Van Tricht

Barista starts off as a traditional, washed rind cheese, reminiscent of Abbey style cheeses commonly found throughout the history of Belgian. But a modern twist is applied, with the addition of locally roasted coffee grinds. Grinds are layered between the two halves of the paste, in homage to Morbier, as well as rubbed on the rind. This addition blends harmoniously with the rich, creamy paste, giving off notes of mocha, chocolate, and a juicy acidity.
