New on the Market

Caveman Blue

The venerable Rogue Creamery in Central Point, Oregon, has become synonymous with award-winning blues, and its latest addition to the American artisanal cheese market is no exception. Caveman Blue, is a moist, dense, and wellrounded cheese, streaked with green-blue veins in a pale golden paste. Its sweet, caramel, and hazelnut flavors are balanced by a blend of spice and pepper overtones, resulting in a rugged yet easy-to-love, big, bold blue. Owners David Gremmels and Cary Bryant proudly carry on the tradition of Tom and Ig Vella’s cheesemaking expertise, gently handling the curd to allow for a greater retention of moisture and a much longer aging time. Aptly named, the cheese is aged in caves with limestone walls. It pairs well with big red wines and a strong stout beer.

SeaHive

Fresh from the land of salt and honey— Utah, that is—Beehive Cheese’s new SeaHive, a golden, buttery, and crumbly cow’s milk cheese, is hand-rubbed with local wildflower honey and salt harvested from an ancient seabed near Redmond, Utah. The result is a complex combination of sweet cream with a salty finish. Situated in a canyon in the middle of the Wasatch Mountains, Beehive Cheese Creamery uses whole milk from a local Jersey dairy farm to craft a line of American originals. Owners Tim Welsh and Pat Ford specialize in incorporating unusual ingredients into their cheeses to create unique flavors.
