An homage to Roquefort, the king of French blue cheeses, this two-time first place winner in the 2018 and 2019 ACS competitions is made with 100% sheep milk and aged 90 days. Its paste is silky but finishes slightly fudgy. Tangy aromas of butterscotch, sweet cream, and butter with a slight floral undertone make it the approachable Ewe’s Blue. Consider serving with a salad, steak, fruits, or red or sparkling wine.
