Best in Show Has Arrived: Rogue River Blue

posted by Jill • Wednesday , September 09, 2009 •

Yes, folks, after much begging and pleading with the folks at Rogue River Creamery, the country’s best cheese is now at Cheesetique. Rogue River Blue is a raw cow’s milk blue aged for nearly a year and wrapped in native Syrah leaves which have been soaked in Pear Brandy. According to the producer, “The grape leaves add additional complexity to the terroir driven flavors of the cheese and preserve its moist creamy texture.” And boy does it have the most amazing flavor ever! Not to mention its creamy yet chewy texture.

Rogue River Blue was just selected as Best in Show at the American Cheese Society conference in Austin, Texas. It beat out over 2000 other cheeses to receive this honor. This makes Rogue River Blue the undisputed BEST CHEESE IN AMERICA.

For those of you lucky enough to attend our upcoming American Winners cheese class, you will get to taste this exclusive cheese, which must be ordered months in advance. For those of you not coming to the class, YOU SHOULD COME TO THE CLASS! There are still spots open (www.cheesetique.com/events). You can also purchase this cheese for the steep but oh-so-worth-it price of $36/lb.
