The secret to Point Reyes Original Blue™ lies in its unique combination of three ingredients. First, grade A unpasteurized milk is taken from a closed herd of Holstein cows that graze on the green pastured hills overlooking Tomales Bay, California. Next, the coastal fog and salty Pacific breezes common to Point Reyes, California conspire in lending the cheese a unique character. Finally, time influences the recipe too. Original Blue™ is made within hours of milking, and then ages for a minimum of six months. The result? A creamier style, full-flavored blue cheese with definite hints of lemongrass and sea salt. For those of us who have fallen in love with Maytag Blue, sample Point Reyes Original Blue™ for a familiar yet distinctly different experience!

Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.

I loved this cheese! I found my self sneaking bites of it almost everyday, until it was gone. My wife killed me when she found out I had eaten it all. Great on salads, steaks, or just alone with some fruit to accompany it.

One can almost taste the sea and tall green grass that suround this beautiful dairy. I have been a Maytag person, but I prefer Pt. Reyes as creamier and slightly milder with no sacrifice in flavor.

I love blue cheese, and this is the best blue I've ever had! It's not overly strong, so even some folks who aren't crazy about blues like it; but the flavor holds its own. Not to mention, it's made in one of the most beautiful places on earth! Highest recommendation!!!
