POINT REYES BLUE - COWS MILK (CALIFORNIA FARMSTEAD)

Brand: POINT REYES

The secret to Original Blue™ lies in the unique combination of three ingredients: Grade A raw milk from a closed herd of Holstein cows that graze on the certified organic, green pastured hills overlooking Tomales Bay, the coastal fog, and the salty Pacific breezes. Time influences the recipe, too. Original Blue™ is made within hours of milking, and then ages for a minimum of six months. The result? A creamier style, full-flavored blue cheese.
