Rogue Creamery Organic Smokey Blue-Wheel

An innovative American original, Smokey Blue is often referred to as the “Gateway Blue” because it has won over countless blue cheese skeptics since its introduction in 2005. After the wheels are cave-aged and reach their full maturation, they undergo a long, gentle cold-smoking process using Oregon hazelnut shells. This infuses the cheese with nutty, caramelly aromas and notes of vanilla, bread pudding, and candied bacon—all of which find harmony with the cheese’s sweet cream flavors and moderate blue spice.
