Grasslands Blue

Artisanal CheeseClock Pairing Tool

Taking its name from the grasslands of Minnesota, Grassland Blue is a raw milk cheese that is cave aged for 3 months. We are proud to offer this limited production cheese, as it develops a strong and pungent taste but does not have the soapiness that is often found in other American Blue cheeses.

Grassland Blue is free of any growth hormone or artificial additives. Salted and tangy, it uses a specific strength of Penicillium Roqueforti that grows slowly during affinage. This cheese works perfectly in a salad dressing with apples and walnuts, or can end a meal when paired with a sweet dessert wine. It pairs well with a bold red wine like California Pinot or Zinfandel as well as with dessert wines like Late Harvest Wine, Ice apple Cider and Tawny Port.
