We have already seen certain cheeses with a black rind, sometimes even cheeses with an ashy rind, such as the goat cheese log from Saint Maur for example. But a cheese whose paste itself is black like licorice is rather special.
However, it is cheese like that that they serve in a grill restaurant called Willie Brothers in Jakarta, Indonesia. And it's not just the look of the cheese that's special. Its name also:“Venom Cheese”. Poisonous cheese? It almost sounds like a gothic metal band name.
More seriously, if cheese is the most important food in the world for you, we imagine that you are dying to try it.
To give it this color, mozzarella is mixed with activated charcoal. Which explains how you can go from an immaculate white to such a powerful black.
The restaurant serves this melted cheese like many restaurants seen on Instagram do with the whole wheel of cheese in your hands and the cheese melting right on your plate. It's super satisfying to see and when you're a fan of cheese, it's also super appetizing.
In addition, as soon as there is a touch of black, it always adds elegance.
But what we especially want to know is whether the taste also changes with the color.
