Northern California is home to lush farmlands and happy cows (just like in the commercials). These cows produce quality milk which translates to tasty cheese. Point Reyes Original Blue is the epitome of a great California cheese. It's unsurpassed flavor and quality has earned it major bragging rights. Original Blue won Best Cheese/Dairy Product at the 2011 Fancy Food Show.
It's aged for 5 months and has a delectable creamy texture, buttermilk tang and medium blue flavor. Serve as a savory dessert course drizzled with honey (I love Savannah Bee Company's cheese honey ) and crunchy pecans. Pair it with a divine dessert wine that's sweet and viscous like Sauternes . Its orange blossom notes makes a pleasing pairing that sings with the floral honey while balancing the slight piquancy of Original Blue.
*Point Original Blue is a gluten-free cheese.
