2019 BEST CHEESE IN THE WORLD
This blue reflects a deep connection to the land and artisanship. These rounds are lovingly hand-wrapped in local, organic, biodynamic Cowhorn Vineyard Syrah leaves that have been macerated in organic Pear Liqueur. Rogue River Blue is made during the autumnal equinox and before the winter solstice from Brown Swiss and Holstein cow milk. The cows graze in 1250 foot elevation pastures bording Rogue River, where they eat a variety of pasture and native grasses, hop clover, wild herbs, Himalayan blackberries and wild flowers, supplemented with grass hay, alfalfa and grain off the farm.

Team Member Notes:
Rogue River Blue is wrapped in grape leaves that have been macerated in pear liqueur. Its forward, well-aged flavor tastes of brandy, fruit and burnt cream. The flavors of our signature terroir include hints of sweet pine, wild ripened berries, hazelnuts, morels and pears. –— David Gremmels, Owner/Cheesemaker
