California wines are some of the best in the world, so why should the cheese be any different? Although I am very loyal to the midwest, which also has some mighty fine cheeses, the Point Reyes Blue is an amazing blue that I would recommend to anyone.
It’s not as creamy as a St. Agur or a nice creamy Gorgonzola, it’s a little more solid, with a nice marbled appearance. It has a really great range of flavor though, slightly sweet but with a wonderful slight tartness that makes it a nice, solid blue.
As a bonus, it’s made on the farm from the Point Reyes’ own heard of hormone free cows. A great, solid “farmstead” cheese!
