Rogue River Blue - Quarter Pound*

Rogue River Blue - Quarter Pound

Delight in the unique flavors of Rogue River Blue. A seasonal blue from Oregon, wrapped in grape leaves soaked in pear eau de vie and aged in caves, with a fruity note layered over the vegetal earth of the house style.

Why you'll love it

• Grape leaf wrap — the wheel is wrapped in grape leaves before aging, which is where a good part of the aroma comes from.
• Pear eau de vie — the leaves are soaked in pear brandy first, so the rind carries a soft orchard fruit scent.
• Cave aged — cave aging brings the fruit into balance with the natural vegetal and earth notes Rogue cheeses are known for.
• Seasonal and limited — made with summer only pasteurized milk in small quantities that do not last long in the case.
• Best in the world — named Best Cheese in the World at the 2019/2020 World Cheese Awards in Bergamo, Italy.

How to enjoy Let it warm up, then serve with honey, walnuts and a slice of pear. Port and Sauternes are the classic pairings, and it crumbles well over a pear tart or a green salad.

One of the few American blues with a genuine cult following, and the grape leaf wrap makes it instantly recognizable on a board.
