milk: morning Holstein cow
type: blue
Melissa found a good deal on this 3lb wheel of Original Blue at woot. We decided that with the holidays coming up that we should get it, so here it is.
The secret to Original Blue lies in the unique combination of three ingredients:
- Grade A raw milk from a closed herd of Holstein cows that graze on the certified organic, green pastured hills overlooking Tomales Bay
- The coastal fog
- And the salty Pacific breezes
Time influences the recipe, too. Original Blue is made within hours of milking, and then ages for a minimum of six months. The result? A creamier style, full-flavored blue cheese.
