ROELLI CHEESES
Dunbarton Blue
Our original recipe flagship cheese, Dunbarton Blue Cheese! A hand crafted, cellar cured cheese with the earthy character of a fine English-style cheddar, coupled with the subtle hint of blue flavor. Open air curing creates a natural, edible rind. Made with pasteurized cow’s milk and aged at least 90 days.
Appearance: Blue cheese has a pale, off-white to yellowish interior with characteristic blue-green veins or streaks running throughout. These veins are formed by the growth of edible mold.
Taste/Flavor: Blue cheese generally has a strong, pungent, and tangy flavor, which can be described as sharp, earthy, and sometimes even spicy.
