Dear Hannah,


There is no reason to be intimidated by blue cheeses! Experimenting with different blue cheeses and pairing them with different ingredients can be a fun experience—plus, you may end up discovering something you really love. Blue cheeses are bold and unique, yet more versatile than you might think!

Beautiful Blue Cheese


Whether you are already a blue cheese lover, or want to start exploring it—we have some beautiful and unique blue cheeses for you to try.

Some of Our Favorite Blue Cheeses

Bleu 1924

Presented by: Peterson

Bleu 1924 is made in the traditional Roquefort style, and the recipe predates the 1925 mandate stating Roquefort must be made entirely from sheep’s milk! The blend of sheep and cow’s milk used, and careful aging practices creates a rich, buttery paste balanced with spicy blue veining and the occasional crunch of tyrosine crystals. This is a blue that stands out, so we recommend serving as is or enjoying as an appetizer or on a cheese dessert plate!


Rogue River Blue

Presented by: Prodilac


At the World Cheese Awards in Bergamo, Italy, a panel of over 250 of the world’s foremost cheese connoisseurs chose Rogue River Blue as Grand Champion—a first for an American-made cheese. After 9 to 11 months of careful tending in aging caves, the Rogue team hand-wraps each wheel in organic, biodynamic Syrah grape leaves that have soaked in pear spirits. This delicious cheese is produced seasonally and availability is limited.


Mitibleu

Presented by: Forever Cheese

Mitibleu is a bold and spicy blue cheese with pleasant minerality and sheepiness. It’s made in the heart of Manchego country from the milk of sheep that graze the plains of Castilla La Mancha.


Bayley Hazen Blue

Presented by: Jasper Hill Farm

Bayley Hazen Blue is a Jasper Hill Farm original, and is made from high-quality whole raw milk. It is named for an old military road commissioned by George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Though no major battle ever took place, the road brought Greensboro its first settlers and continues to be used today.
