Rogue Creamery- ‘Rogue River Blue’ (Oregon, per half-wedge ≈4.5oz)
Widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest blue cheeses this
The Rogue Creamery of Central Point, Oregon is world renowned for their distinctive blues, and the Rogue River Blue is their signature cheese. A World Champion cheese, this blue is wrapped in Syrah grape leaves that have been macerated in pear brandy, thus two levels of rich sweetness balance the peppery and earthy overtones of the blue.

Farm Notes:
As fall comes to the Rogue Valley, cooler temperatures and wet weather bring renewed growth to the pastures. This is when our 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
