Blue cheese

Oregon Blue

Oregon Blue is Rogue Creamery’s classic, signature blue cheese. First created in 1954, it was the first cave-aged, Roquefort-style blue cheese made on the West Coast.

 

This cheese is approachable and fruity, with moderate “blue” flavor and a hint of sweet forest honey. It has a rich, creamy texture and a savory-sweet finish.

 

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

Flavor

APPEARANCE: Ivory paste with distinctive green-blue veins of mold

TEXTURE: Rich, creamy, and crumbly

TASTE: Comice pear, green apple, and honey, with moderate “blue” flavor

SUGGESTED PAIRINGS:

  • A delicious addition to salads, appetizers, and mains. Oregon Blue adds a great touch of tanginess to meats, and is particularly good with lamb, burgers, and steak.
  • Pairs well with a wide range of wines, particularly Viognier, Riesling, and Pinot Noir. Equally versatile with beer, shining beside IPAs, Weissbier, and Pale Ales.

Love it

I have purchased two wheels of rouge River blue and a wheel of Brutal Blue and for our taste this Orego Blue is what we have been looking for. Very traditional blue cheese and the best we have ever had the pleasure of eating. Can’t stop, it is so good salads or burgers or just a slab to eat by itself! Fantastic, we are grateful to have you guys in our Oregon neighborhood! Thankyou, Bud Thomas
