The Gold of the Alps: Vezzena Cheese The Vezzena Cheese is often referred to as “the Gold of the Alps” because of its color. Its unique golden color is given by the milk that is collected daily in the mountain farms where cows are free to live outside and graze on grass. In order to reach perfect maturation, the Vezzena Cheese is aged at least six months. If needed, it can be aged more depending on how much flavor and sharpness is desired in the cheese. At six months, the taste of the Vezzena Cheese is slightly sharp with a mid-grainy texture. Its aromatics profile is rich with a scent of roasted cashew mixed with pineapple. If aged over 30

Surrounding the Bear Queen are symbols of the Rogue terroir: chanterelle mushrooms, pine boughs, acorns, blackberries and Bracken fern – all reminiscent of flavors found in this cheese. Oregon Blue is available nationwide in whole wheel, crumble, and prepackaged, exact-weight wedge formats. Rogue Creamery 866.396.4704 ext. 4 www.roguecreamery.com
