Rogue River Blue
All I can say is “Wow!” I wait for this to come in every year. I used to buy French Roquefort, but this cheese is so much better.
Oregonian, award-winning blue.
A kaleidoscope of notes collide in this award-winning blue.
Country of Origin: Oregon, USA
Milk Type/Treatment: Raw Cow
Rennet Type: Animal
An intoxicating blend of flavors from across the flavor spectrum: pear, clove, blackberry, vanilla, hazelnut, cocoa and even some bacon fat.
The winner of countless accolades, including two Best in Show awards at the American Cheese Society (2009, 2011), this seasonal blue is one of the reasons we look forward to autumn. Made with organic, raw milk, it is wrapped in syrah grape leaves that have been macerated in pear brandy. This gives it not only a beautiful appearance, but a stunning flavor profile. Only a limited amount is released every year, so it's best not to wait. It is usually gone by December.
Savor after dinner with a glass of Port or Sherry, or feature it at the center of an epic cheese plate.

ALWAYS A PLEASURE-THIS SEASONAL BLUE. IT NEVER DISAPPOINTS.
I see why it won internationally!!
AWESOME!!
Blue cheese is, in general, hit or miss. It’s very potent, and it’s one of those things you either love or hate. This particular blue cheese was Strong, even by the standards of blue cheese. I was also surprised by how quickly it began to spoil, but that’s probably because it’s organic. Plan on eating this within 3-4 days of opening it.
If you want a cheese that’s a roundhouse to the face of flavor, this is what you’re looking for. There were so many different things going on in my mouth that I lost track of it. It reminded me of a party I had in college where I invited 6-8 close friends and wound up with 50+
I understand why Rogue River Blue was rated the best cheese in the world. It is! Enjoy.
