The name Pi comes from the Greek letter P, which refers to the Penicillium roquefortii on the rind, responsible for the cheese's distinctive appearance. The soft, springy texture is a result of leaving more moisture in the curd grain during production, allowing the cheese to ripen rapidly and develop its full flavour profile. At 45 days old, Pi reaches its peak, offering intense, mushroomy notes and earthy undertones.
Pi pairs beautifully with pistachios, red pepper jam, or fresh tomato on toast, making it a perfect addition to any cheese board or tapas spread.
