Producer & Story

Made by Roelli Cheese in Shullsburg, Wisconsin, Red Rock brings cheddar character and blue-cheese bite together in one distinctive cheese. Its story began in 2011, when Chris Roelli added an extra dose of annatto coloring and blue mold spores to a batch of orange cheddar. The experiment became a colorful, loaf-shaped cheddar-blue.

Flavor & Texture

Red Rock combines the sharpness associated with English cheddar with the bite and creaminess of French blue. Open-air cellar aging enhances its rich flavor, balancing a lively edge with a creamy texture. It is an inviting choice for a cheese board when you want the familiarity of cheddar with a little extra personality.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve with crusty bread or plain crackers, apple or pear slices, and a handful of walnuts. A little honey offers a sweet contrast to the cheese's sharp, blue character. For a drink pairing, try an off-dry Riesling, a fruity red or a malty ale.
