Product Details

Savory & Sweet. 

Try the newest addition to our product line. Inspired by the sheer natural beauty of our coastal climate and locale, Bay Blue is a rustic-style blue cheese reminiscent of Stilton. It is known for its mellow flavor and sweet, salted-caramel finish.

Critics agree that Bay Blue is a hit! This year at the 2014 Annual American Cheese Society Conference in Sacramento, out of 1,685 cheese entries, Bay Blue took home 2nd Place, Best in Show! (And 1st Place in the Cows' Milk Rinded Blue Cheese Category.) Last year Bay Blue won the 2013 Gold sofi Award (the Oscars of Specialty Food) for Best New Product at the New York Fancy Food Show.

DESCRIPTION:

Uses: A great Cheese Course blue, paired with toasted 
hazelnuts. In recipes it complements mushrooms beautifully -- especially melted in pasta or risotto.

About The Producer

Point Reyes Farmstead
Pt. Reyes, CA
The Giacomini family traces its roots to the mountainous terrain of northern Italy. In the early 20th century, Tobias Giacomini left Europe to settle in Northern California. A half-century later, his grandson, Bob, and Bob’s new wife, Dean, bought a farm near Tomales Bay and began raising Holstein cows and selling milk to a local creamery. Their herd grew from 150 to 500 by the mid-1990s, and the farm’s lush pastures are now certified organic. Bob and Dean had four daughters and, in 2000, the family launched the Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company, using its own milk to make its first cheese, Point Reyes Original Blue.Read more
