Bluehorn Blue Cheese

Wine-Soaked Decadence

With its rich, creamy, and fruity profile, Bluehorn blue cheese is a distinctive and luxurious addition to any cheese board.

After extended cave-aging, each wheel is soaked in red wine made from organic, biodynamic Syrah grapes grown in Southern Oregon at award-winning Troon Vineyard. The wine’s bright berry and plum notes enhance fruity flavors naturally found in the cheese, and it lends a distinctive blush to the rind to make this cheese an attractive standout on a grazing board. Bluehorn Blue was honored with a Super Gold medal at the 2022 World Cheese Awards, placing among the top 96 cheeses in the world.

Fun Fact about Bluehorn:

We selected Bluehorn’s red wine from Troon Vineyard’s Block 14, where the Syrah grape vines are particularly vigorous due to a gravelly soil type. In Block 14, the ground heats up more quickly in the spring and summer months, resulting in a riper, denser, and more fruit-forward wine with deep garnet-purple pigmentation. These exact same vines also provide their leaves to wrap our World Champion cheese, Rogue River Blue.

A 2022 World Cheese Awards SuperGold Winner!

By soaking each wheel of cave-aged blue cheese in an organic red wine blend, we create a cheese with distinctive berry notes and a brown butter finish – in addition to a subtle rose blush coloring on the rind. 

*The exact weight of each wedge and mini-wheel varies due to the handmade nature of our product.

Appearance: Ivory, with green-blue veins of mold throughout the interior. The rind is grey-brown with hints of pink.

Texture: Rich, buttery, and smooth

Taste: Currant, blackberry, blueberry, and brown butter, with moderate “blue” flavor

Suggested Pairings:

      • Caramelized pecans stuffed with Bluehorn Blue cheese and a balsamic honey glaze make a crowd-pleasing appetizer – one of Rogue Creamery’s favorite recipes. Bluehorn Blue is also a wonderful accompaniment to steak, pork loin, or duck confit drizzled with a bordelaise sauce. Because of its convenient, attractive size, Bluehorn Blue is a perfect centerpiece on a cheese platter, surrounded by nuts, fruits, and charcuterie.
      • Bluehorn Blue pairs excellently with a variety of red wines, including Syrah and Pinot Noir. We also enjoy it with dessert wine, especially Ruby Port. With flavors of caramel, vanilla, and cream, wheat ales and porters will complement this cheese as well.
