Organic cAVEMAN blue®

team member notes:Caveman Blue has been a labor of love for the past decade at Rogue Creamery. The brand Caveman was used by the creamery as far back as the 1930’s. However today’s wheels are the result of years of careful research, tweaks, and evaluation including the construction of a unique aging cave dedicated solely to these wheels.–— Tom Van Voorhees, Cheese Shop Manager

suggested pairings:This fudgy blue cheese makes a wonderful accompaniment to fruit and nut-studded crisps, stewed shallot compote, or a contrasting bright orange marmalade. The addition of Caveman Blue can transform a simple side dish of roasted butternut squash, toasted pecans and dried cranberries into a main course. Caveman’s earthy backbone is a wonderful foil for a range of beverages — bold reds like Zinfandel, sweeter picks like American style dessert wines, playful whites like Tokaji, and full-flavored stouts.

A lthough its moniker and mold-riddled exterior imply a lack of refinement, these wheels are anything but. A rugged natural rind allows the Caveman to release

a bit of moisture and develop a thick, buttery texture. During its maturation, luscious cow milk and blue cultures are transformed into a golden-hued paste that tastes of sweet, fresh buttermilk with hints of tropical fruit, grass and hay.
