The result is magic! "Oregon Blue" is a classic Roquefort style blue cheese that is cold smoked 16 hours with Oregon Hazelnut shells. The smoking process releases a sweet, creamy, smoky flavor that balances both the sharp blue flavor and sweet, creamy flavor of the 100% natural full cream sustainable milk from Bonanza View Dairy.Oregon's Rogue Creamery scored the coveted Best New Product in the World Award at the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT) Food Show in New York (2005) and best product line (2006). Smokey Blue was also the winner of the of the Innovation Award - (2006 SIAL Paris, France) Don't deprive yourself of tasting what many aficionados have come to call "adult candy." Smokey Blue is a great "crumbler" that adds a signature touch to greens and meats; a guaranteed cheese plate or picnic crowd-pleaser. This cheese pairs well with well-rounded "food" wines that are on the fruity side and lighter on tannins and acidity: Pinot Gris, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, select Zinfandels, Merlots and blends.- Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.

The best blue I ever tasted!Feb 16, 2006
By Tracy D. Arrowsmith
I fancy myself a blue cheese aficianado. I have had some good blue cheese before but I have NEVER tasted a blue so great it prompted me to actually write a review. A friend of mine who works at Cow Girl Creamery gave me a hunk of this stuff for my birthday. I am forever greatful. So, there you have it. If you like blue cheese, you have to try this one. There is no other blue cheese out there better! Take it from me. I have a hook-up for free cheese and believe me, I have tried a lot of them. This one is the best yet!

Kind of BleuOct 10, 2006
By John P. Morgan
"Light Coach"
I love Bleu Cheese...I really do...I'm not a big fan of Bleu Cheese dressing, but if I make a salad I will make a light dressing of lemon, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar and then crumble blue cheese in with the salad. Oh, dang...it is like heaven...well, I hope not, because even though I really like bleu cheese, it kinduv smells like dirty feet and it would be a drag gettin' to Heaven and having it smell like dirty feet.
So buy a block of this cheese and put it on some really good crackers...or better yet, barbecue a tri-tip at a real low, even heat for a few hours and then slice it real thin and put the meat on hot, garlic infused ciabatta bread drizzle with olive oil, top with fresh rosemary and sliced bleu cheese and eat with sliced hot house cucumbers and a frosty mug of a light ale...that's good eatin', right there.
Oh, dang...I'm hungry now and all I have is Velveeta. Is this some kind of sick joke?
Peace and blessings, people...
=)

By Glen A. Ritter
We love blue cheese and had purchased this cheese while on vacation. Can not get it in our home town. We found it to order and it was just as good as we remembered. Order came quickly and the price was great.

Amazing cheeseJun 17, 2009
By skeeterville
This cheese is amazing--lightly smoked, mildly blue. It's a little like and bacon and blue cheese combination, one of the best cheeses I have ever tasted. The only problem is that the cheese difficult to find and rarely in stock. So PLEASE don't order it.
