From The Rogue Creamery's inauspicious beginnings in 1935 has come one of the finest artisan cheese operations in the world today. In 2002, Ignazio "Ig" Vella (affectionately known as the Godfather of artisan cheese) hand-selected Cary Bryant and David Gremmels as the new owners of what is now known as The Rogue Creamery. Of utmost importance was to carry on the tradition of hand-milled cheese. Bryant and Gremmels hit the ground running. Within a year, they were producing award-winning cheeses.
Created nearly half a century ago, Oregon Blue cheese has been the West Coast’s exemplary, award-winning sustainable, raw cow milk blue cheese. Aged at least 90 days in our Roquefort modeled caves, it’s an approachable blue with a firm but buttery paste and a bouquet of flavors to satisfy a range of palettes. Bite into Oregon Blue and find a clean, briny flavor, notes of sweet cream and veins of mellow, earthy blue molds blooming throughout.
