Rogue Creamery
| Rogue River Blue by Rogue Creamery in Oregon is the first American cheese to win World Champion at the 2019/20 World Cheese Awards. This artisan, seasonal blue cheese is made from certified organic pasteurized milk from Brown Swiss and Jersey cows, aged 9-11 months. It’s wrapped in Syrah grape leaves soaked in pear spirits, enhancing moisture and flavor. It has a fudgy, creamy texture with tyrosine crystals and a complex flavor profile featuring pear brandy, vanilla, truffle, and fermented fruit. Produced only in autumn, it’s cave-aged and pairs well with robust wines and dark malt beers. | |
