In honor of Goat Cheese Month, we’ve added this delicious, complex staff favorite to our website – only for the month of August!

Echo Mountain Blue displays a montage of rich flavors made from combining sustainable cow and goat milk. The flavor is clear, crisp, brilliant and complex in its subtle hint of goat’s milk. It has a semi-soft texture with a silky smooth mouth feel and a tangy finish.

The goats browse seasonally near the banks of the Rogue River next to our cow dairy sharing the same “terroir” of rich grasses, clover, and Himalayan blackberry. Their natural and local feed and pasturing are designed to balance the goat’s diets and milk to provide the “Flavor of the Rogue.”

Suggested Pairings:

  • For a cheese plate, serve simply with wine and full flavored charcuterie meat, such as Olympia Provisons Chorizo Rioja
