We don't see many cheeses from Germany in this country, so a cheese from Bavaria easily drew my attention.
Chiriboga Blue, made at a creamery in Bad Oberdorf, near the border with Austria, is unusual on several accounts.
For starters, the cheese maker, Arturo Chiriboga, is Ecuadoran. Political turmoil in his home country motivated Chiriboga and his wife, who is of German descent, to move to Bavaria as young adults. He landed a job at the Obere Muhle creamery 17 years ago and has been there ever since.
