Located in: Cheese, USA

Nestled in among the rolling hills of central Iowa is Maytag Dairy, which produces Maytag Blue cheese. Shortly before World War II, F.L. Maytag II began working with scientists at Iowa State University to begin making a great American blue cheese, modeled after those of Europe. The result was one of the first American farmstead cheeses of superior quality. Maytag cheese makers, however, are still hand making the same cheese that they created in the 1930's. Maytag Blue's popularity has taken off with the growing interest in American farmstead cheeses, and this wonderful, tangy blue cheese is now featured on menus across the country. Its wonderful flavor, moist yet crumbly texture, and lemony finish make Maytag one of the world's great blue cheeses.

Comments about Maytag Blue - Pound Cut:

Mellow and rich this blue cheese has a mellow but rich blue cheese flavor unlike some other types which are sour and pungent. Once you have tried this nothing else compares. My dad eats 4-6 lbs every Christmas season as a cracker spread.

Comments about Maytag Blue - Pound Cut:

Our family has been ordering Maytag Blue for over 40 years, thanks to my grandfather who was a fellow conservationist with Mr. Maytag. Now we cannot even taste another brand without making a comparison to Maytag, because it is the best. In some fine restaurants, I've even seen noted on the menu that they only serve Maytag Blue. Now that's recognition of a fine product.
