Did you know that each batch goes through a 27-point organoleptic sensory test? Mr. Blue, aka David Gremmels, is unyielding when it comes to Rogue River Blue. It's a very tough exam for the cheese to pass! And not every wheel makes it. Mr. Blue is regularly tasting wheels and when that unique and specific profile shows, those are the wheels that he sets aside. It is only the highest quality wheels that will pass this sensory test to become Rogue River Blue. And it's this dedication to quality and ultimate standards that have given Rogue River Blue its ever-growing cult following and the top award of Grand Champion in 2019 at the World Cheese Awards.
