Blue cheese

Smokey Blue

Playfully inspired by Smokey Bear, this American original is cold-smoked for many hours over Oregon hazelnut shells. This process infuses the cheese with unique aromas of barrel-aged vanilla, bread pudding, and candied bacon. You’ll taste spicy-sweet flavors of honey, apple, and nectarine, plus a mild “blue” finish.

 

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

Absolutely the best smoked blue cheese!!

Smokey Blue is delicious and has a great appeal to smoked blue cheese afficionado's. The first bite has the "wow" factor and infuses the senses with intense flavor. A smoked blue cheese that delivers pure enjoyment.
