Rogue River Smokey Blue
by admin on Jul.07, 2007, under blue cheese, cheese
Background: Handmade cows milk cheese, produced in Oregon using sustainable dairy and agricultural practises. It claims to be the first ever smoked blue cheese.
Appearance: Firm white cheese with coarse blue veins. Crumbly, no visible voids.
Taste: Medium sharpness, tangy and slightly fruity blue cheese character with a hint of salt. The mildly earthy finish is where the smoke influence really starts to shine through, lending a nice depth to the flavour. Very smooth and balanced.
Verdict: Thumbs way up.
