We have always been fans of Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company. It began with their famous Original Blue, then their lovely, buttery Toma, now Bay Blue! This is a fabulous blue with a natural rind. The purity of milk shines through all of Point Reyes cheeses, and Bay Blue is no exception. Made from pasteurized Grade A cow's milk from the Giacomini family's herd where the cows are raised from birth on their property. They have complete control over their milk from start to finish and there is no doubt that the flavor of the milk is unique. The terroir plays a big role in the milk. Located in stunning Point Reyes in western Marin County, California, the early morning fog rolls in from the Pacific and lightly salts their sleepy, certified organic pastures, which accounts for the majority of their cows diet.

Inspired by the sheer natural beauty of their coastal climate and locale, Bay Blue is a rustic-style blue cheese reminiscent of Stilton. It is known for its mellow flavor with earthy tones and sweet, salted-caramel finish. This is a great cheese course blue, paired with toasted hazelnuts. Delicious melted into mushroom risotto, topped on grilled flatbread, or paired with toasted hazelnuts and stone fruit. Try crumbled on pine nut crostini or an apple tart.

2013 Gold sofi Award (the Oscars of Specialty Food) for Best New Product at the New York Fancy Food Show.

2014 Annual American Cheese Society Conference in Sacramento, out of 1,685 cheese entries, Bay Blue took home 2nd Place, Best in Show! (And 1st Place in the Cows' Milk Rinded Blue Cheese Category.)

What’s the best way to store my cheese?
The best way to keep cheese fresh is to store it in the vegetable crisper in your fridge. Before doing so, wrap in parchment or wax paper, then wrap loosely in plastic wrap. You can also buy our exclusive cheese storage bags, specially created to keep your cheese fresher, longer.

Unless used for cooking, we don’t recommend storing cheese in the freezer as this will alter its texture.

What is the best temperature to serve my cheese?
Remove cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, as cheese is best experienced at room temperature to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.

How long will my cheese stay fresh in the refrigerator?
The length of time cheeses last in the fridge after opening depends largely on the type of cheese. Soft varieties tend to spoil more quickly than hard varieties. Please refer to the table below for a convenient reference:

How We Ship

FreshWave Packaging

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality. 

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
