Blue sheep cheese, with an extravagant and goliardic name, conferred more than anything else by a play on words as we like to do. The basic is our Piparello cheese, to which the penicillium roqueforti molds are added, drilled and seasoned. The name comes from the fact that it is one of the smallest blue cheeses in size, therefore Smurf, and is blue like the Smurfs, with the ending “rello” of “Pipa”, which has therefore become definitively Smurf.
To describe it I would say that it is appetizing, greedy, tasty, smurky. Jokes aside, it is a blue with its characteristic tinginess but also a lot of sweetness. It is not intrusive and therefore very appetizing in the sense that after a first taste it invites a second and so on.
Its aging, indicatively, is between 70 and 90 days, obviously the more time passes the more it will change leaving the sweetness to embrace a greater spiciness.

Allergens: Milk and milk derivatesMilk origin:
Italy
Shape: cylindrical with irregular flat faces and slightly bowed sides, with a newly beveled edge;
External appearance: the crust is wrinkled, of medium consistency and is covered with a layer of natural mold of light gray color with the presence of lighter and darker patches. The holes drilled in the two faces are well highlighted to allow the entry of oxygen during the maturation phase;
Internal appearance: this cheese presents with an irregular blueing then with an inhomogeneous distribution of the molds. The paste in the center has a white color until it reaches the yellow-paglierino or ivory near the crust;
Aroma: interesting to describe, you can feel clearly the lactic scent of butter, the vegetable like the dry porcine mushroom, but also very present the animal, characteristic smell of sheep and stable;
Taste: at first its characteristic salty flavor stands out, but which then attenuates leaving room for a sweetness, with its long persistence rediscovering most of the aromas also felt on the nose. Complex and very, very interesting cheese, also defined by meditation for the intensity and heterogeneity of flavors.
