| Buttermilk Blue, produced by Roth Cheese in Monroe, Wisconsin, is an American artisanal blue cheese made primarily from pasteurized Jersey and Holstein cow's milk. It is creamy and semi-soft with a high butterfat content, aged at least two months for the standard version and six months for the raw milk “Affinée” reserve. Its flavor is tangy, mellow, and buttermilk-like, appealing to novices and connoisseurs alike. The cheese uses microbial rennet, is rindless, and foil-wrapped. It pairs well with Riesling, Rosé, stouts, and sweet accompaniments like honey and fruits. | |
