Point Reyes' Original Blue was the first cheese produced on the farmstead, all the way back in 2000. Since its creation, Original Blue has won numerous awards for its perfectly creamy, semi-firm texture, stunning veining, and bold, peppery flavor with hints of sweet milk. This is a medium-to strong blue cheese, with versatile use and exceptional flavor.
A 100% woman-owned dairy farm and creamery, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese was founded over 25 years ago on the Giacomini family's coastal California pasture. Raised on over 720 acres, their herd of happy Holsteins produces the freshest milk, taken directly from the farm to the dairy for each batch of artisan cheese. Point Reyes is dedicated to the humane and sustainable raising of their cows, and to the art of crafting truly delicious cheese with farm-fresh flavor.
- Milk Type: Pasteurized Cow
- Texture: Ultra-creamy, semi-firm
- Serving Suggestions: Original Blue makes a delicious table or board cheese, but also has excellent meltability that makes it ideal for burgers, steaks, pastas, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, and much more. It pairs beautifully with reds like Cabernet and Zinfandel, malt-centric beers, and vintage port.
