Rogue Creamery Wins Gold at World Cheese Awards Rogue Creamery's Rogue River Blue was awarded a Gold Medal at the 30th Annual World Cheese Awards in London, U.K. The World Cheese Awards is the largest and most respected competition of its type in the world. Two hundred and sixty judges gath- ered to taste and score more than 3,000 cheeses from 30 countries. "It is an honor to receive the news of Rogue River Blue's Gold Medal award. This is a win for Rogue River Blue and organic Oregon and American made cheese," said David Gremmels, Cheesemaker and Presi- dent. This was the fifth Gold Medal for Rogue River Blue at the World Cheese Awards Competition. It's hand wrapped in Syrah grape leaves, from local biodynamic, or- ganic Cowhorn Vineyard, that have been macerated in organic pear liqueur. Its for- ward, well-aged flavor tastes of brandy, fruit and burnt cream. The flavors of the Rogue Valley signature terroir include hints of sweet pine, wild ripened berries, hazel- nuts, morels and pears. Echo Mountain Blue was also recognized at the Competi- tion with a Bronze Medal; this is the eighth medal at the World Cheese Awards for Echo Mountain. Rogue River Blue: Made annually, starting on the autumnal equinox, it is produced at the turn of the season and made with late- season milk. At this time, the cows graze on grasses renewed by cooler temperatures and make milk that is richer and higher in butter- fat due to the ad- vanced stage of the lactation cycle. It is this special milk, reflective of the unique seasonal in- fluences of the Rogue River Val- ley, which is the very essence of terroir. This is the French concept that well- crafted foods represent a certain special essence of a region: the soil, the climate and the interaction of herd and pasture. This blue, finished with pear-brandy soaked grape leaves, has a decidedly complex flavor that reflects the unique seasonal influences of the Rogue River Valley. Rogue River Blue has also won Best American Cheese and Super Gold at the 2012 World Cheese Awards in London and is a two-time winner, 2009 and 2011, of the Best of Show Award at the American Cheese Society Competition & Judg- ing.
