Smokey Blue

Appearance: Pale, buttery paste with blue veining

Texture: Creamy, buttery, and crumbly, with mild tannins

Taste: Vanilla, bread pudding, roasted nuts, and nectarine, with mild “blue” flavor

Suggested Pairings:

• Elevates even the simplest of foods, such as burgers and deviled eggs. A unique addition to any cheese board, where it is best served with nut brittle or preserved fruits.
• Stands up well to bigger red wines, including Cabernet Franc and Zinfandel, as well as white wines exhibiting a hint of sweetness.  A favorite pairing with American Whiskey.
