Rogue River Blue

World Champion Cheese at the 2019/20 World Cheese Awards

As fall comes to the Rogue Valley, cooler temperatures and wet weather bring renewed growth to the pastures. This is when cow’s milk is at its best – and it’s only during these months that we make our limited edition, seasonal Rogue River Blue – a cheese named World Champion at the 2019/20 World Cheese Awards. After 9 to 11 months of careful tending in our aging caves, our team hand-wraps each wheel in organic, biodynamic Syrah grape leaves that have soaked in pear spirits. On the Autumnal Equinox each year, we celebrate the release of the year’s new Rogue River Blue Cheese.

Rogue River Blue’s texture is fudgy and decadent, with the subtle crystalline “crunch” of calcium phosphate (brushite) crystals that become more pronounced with age. Its complex flavor profile includes notes of brandy, toffee, truffle, seared steak fat, and fig.

Note: This product is random weight. The precise weight of each wheel varies slightly due to the handmade nature of our product.
