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.

From Italy's Lombardy region comes the most imitated blue cheese in the world. Many cheeses falsely claim to be gorgonzola, but they always leave you singing the blues. Authentic Italian Gorgonzola comes in two varieties; Dolce - meaning sweet; and Mountain - the sharper and firmer version. Dating back to ancient times, this member of the stracchino family is one of the world's classic cheeses. Almost spreadable, Gorgonzola Dolce is supple and luxurious with an unmistakable tangy creaminess. Its pale white interior is laced with streaks of blue, giving Gorgonzola Dolce a striking appearance to match its piquant flavor. Enjoy Gorgonzola Dolce as a table cheese; spread thickly on a piece of crusty baguette; or as an ingredient in your favorite salad dressing. - Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Roaring Forties Blue Cheese is made by the King Island Dairy. King Island is situated south of Melbourne, Australia at the western end of Bass Strait. Dairying is the largest primary industry among this island's 1,500 inhabitants. According to local legend, grass seeds found in King Island's soil are believed to have been washed ashore in straw mattresses from some 60 eighteenth-century French and English shipwrecks that are strewn along the King Island coast. For almost a century now, dairy herds have grazed on these unique pastures. The quality of these pastures, combined with a pristine environment, combined with a year round growing season, enables the dairy farmers on King Island to practice traditional feeding methods. The cows are reputed to produce the sweetest milk in the land and from this milk comes a range of dairy products acknowledged throughout Australia and rapidly earning the same sort of reputation in the international marketplace. Roaring Forties Blue is a full-flavored blue with a sweet, nutty character. The cheese is matured in blue wax, thus retaining its moisture and creating a smooth and creamy texture.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Roquefort is the ancient blue cheese from the Rouergue, a small region of southern France. It ranks with Stilton and Gorgonzola as the three musketeers of blue cheese, setting the gold standard for all other blues. Roquefort is made from raw sheep's milk, as opposed to the pasteurized cow's milk of its chief rivals. First evidence of Roquefort was discovered in 79 A.D. when Pliny the Elder wrote of its rich aroma. It was the favorite cheese of Charlemagne. In 1411 King Charles VI gave rights to the ageing of Roquefort to only one village: Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. It is aged naturally in the caves of Cambalou for a minimum of three months, developing an intense flavor profile. Roquefort quality comes from the ewe's milk, the processing of the curd, the “penicillium roqueforti” and then the maturation in natural caves. The milk is so prized that any leftover milk is saved, which is then used to make France's Valbreso Feta.
The Roquefort Association, Inc. protects the quality of Roquefort and marks all genuine Roqueforts with a red sheep seal (it is made from the milk of Red Lacaune sheep). This world renowned cheese is soft, rindless, and a bit crumbly. - Made from unpasteurized sheep's milk.
