Description
Dunbarton Blue cheese
Fourth generation cheesemaker Chris Roelli committed the equivalent of blue cheese heresy by piercing his cheese and then pressing it to inhibit the mold growth. The result is Dunbarton Blue, a sort of blue-veined cheddar that’s potent yet approachable. In a typical blue, the pierce holes introduce air that allows the desirable mold to proliferate within the cheese. By pressing it, Chris halts the process, developing a distinct but subtle bluing that hints at piquancy without punching you in the face. This is a unique and fantastic cheese from a true American cheesemaking family.
Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker Chris Roelli leads this company, which has been making artisan cheeses since 2006. Roelli comes from Swiss ancestry and his great-grandfather came to the United States in the 1920s and began making cheese.
Pairing suggestions: Dried cranberries, Fig and Black Tea preserves, Winter Wheat crackers, Ale Asylum Contorter Porter ale.

I lived in Evansville, about 30 miles away & I thought this was the best blue cheese I ever ate .Puts Pt Raye’s blue to shame..Smooth creamy & the right balance of a great tangy cheddar.
