Located in:Cheese, ALL Smoked

Rogue Creamery's "Oregon Blue" is the first blue cheese recipe made on the west coast and they thought it only fitting that this classic recipe become the first blue cheese ever smoked. The result is magic! "Oregon Blue" is a classic Roquefort style blue cheese that is cold smoked 16 hours with Oregon Hazelnut shells. The smoking process releases a sweet, creamy, smoky flavor that balances both the sharp blue flavor and sweet, creamy flavor of the 100% natural full cream sustainable milk from Bonanza View Dairy. Oregon's Rogue Creamery scored the coveted Best New Product in the World Award at the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT) Food Show in New York (2005) and best product line (2006). for their Smoky Blue.

Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.

This has a great flavor but I didn't like the texture as a table cheese. It's rather dry and crumbly -- I suspect it's very low in fat. When I started using it in cooking, I fell in love with it. For example, I added it to a cream sauce and then used the cream sauce to make creamed spinach -- outstanding! The smokiness really comes through and the blue doesn't have the unpleasant sharp metallic flavor that some do.

There's definitely a place for this in recipes, but I don't like it straight up. I would buy it again because of its great flavor.
