Crater Lake Blue

The blue depths of the national treasure for which this cheese is named are reflected in its complex, vibrant, and silky character. Crater Lake is more robust in style than many of our other Blue Cheeses. A favorite of Rogue Valley locals!

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

FAQ

Why Doesn't My Blue Cheese Have Much 'Blue' In It?

Don’t see much ‘blue’ in your blue cheese? It probably just needs to re-oxygenate. Let it sit open at room temperature for an hour, and the ‘blue’ should appear.
