Rogue River Blue is a distinctive artisan cheese produced by Rogue Creamery, based in Oregon, USA. This cheese is notable for being a seasonal product, made exclusively with autumnal-equinox milk from cows that graze in fields along the Rogue River.
It is wrapped in Syrah grape leaves that have been soaked in pear spirits, which adds unique flavors and complexity. The aging process lasts for 9 to 11 months, enhancing its creamy texture and creating a flavor profile that includes hints of fruit, spice, blackberry, vanilla, hazelnut, and chocolate.
