Rogue Creamery
| Caveman Blue by Rogue Creamery is an organic, pasteurized cow’s milk artisanal blue cheese from Oregon’s Rogue River Valley. It features a natural rind and is aged 2 to 6+ months in caves, yielding a dense, fudgy texture with calcium lactate crystals. Made from Brown Swiss and Holstein milk, it uses microbial rennet, making it vegetarian-friendly. The complex flavor includes shiitake mushroom, golden beet, brown butter, and moderate blue piquancy. It’s certified organic, cave-aged, and recognized for quality with awards. Pairings include bold red wines, stouts, honey, and nuts. Signs of spoilage and authentic sensory traits are well-defined. | |
