To Serve
Best temperature for serving:
- Blue cheese is best when enjoyed at room temperature. Remove it from its packaging and let it sit out for at least 30 minutes to “breathe.”
- Liquid in the pouch around your blue cheese:
- You may experience some white or brownish liquid in the plastic pouch encasing your cheese. No whey! Yes whey, actually. This liquid is whey, and because our cheese is moisture-rich and non-homogenized, it is released naturally when it is under vacuum. Simply blot the surface of your cheese before you serve it.
Wine & Cheese Pairing Tips:
- Select wines that match your cheese in body and intensity—mild cheeses with lighter-style wines, and aged or strong cheeses with bolder, barrel-aged wines.
- Look for complementary flavors that mimic each other, such as pairing a herbaceous red wine with a cheese that contains herbs.
- Textural contrasts are fun on the palate! Try pairing a sparkling wine with an extra-creamy cheese, or a dry cheddar with a juicy white wine.
- Wines with a hint of sweetness can balance the bitter undertones in blue cheese, accenting their underlying fruity characteristics.
Wine & Cheese Pairing Suggestions:
- Oregon Blue – Riesling, Sparkling Rosé, Pinot Noir, Late-Harvest white wines, or Tawny Port
- Rogue’s Mary Cheddar – Robust, medium-bodied reds like Tempranillo, Syrah, and Malbec
- Jefferson Aged Cheddar – Fruit-forward wines such as Gewurztraminer, Grenache, and Rosé
