Rogue ~ Smokey Blue

Vanilla, bread pudding, roasted nuts, and nectarine, with mild “blue” flavor. Sweet cream flavors and caramel notes balance earthy flavors of smoke and hints of roasted nuts. The result is a cakey yet smooth blue cheese reminiscent of candied bacon.

Smokey Blue is the first of its kind, inspired by a chef, and the flavor is signature to Oregon as the smoke is derived from Oregon hazelnut shells.

Smokey Blue is a great "crumbler" that adds a signature touch to greens and meats-- a guaranteed cheese plate or picnic crowd-pleaser.

Sweet, nutty, savory flavors envelope the sweet, rich, raw milk creating a creme brulee with a hint of the toasted, sweet richness of a campfire, perfect with our Embrace Grenache.

Try pan-cooking a steak, adding a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, mushrooms, a little half and half and then the Smokey Blue cheese. The smoky taste will add just enough that you will not miss the grill.

Elevates even the simplest of foods, such as burgers and deviled eggs. A unique addition to any cheese board, where it is best served with nut brittle or preserved fruits.

SHELF LIFE: 180 days. Keep refrigerated at 38°– 40° F

Long, gentle cold-smoking over shells from Oregon hazelnuts infuses Rogue Creamery’s Smokey Blue cheese with an added layer of rich flavor.

The cold smoking process releases a sweet, creamy, smoky flavor that balances both the sharp blue flavor and sweet, creamy taste of the 100% natural, full-cream, sustainable milk from Bonanza View Dairy.
