Caveman Blue is a blue cheese made in Oregon, USA, by Rogue Creamery.

Southern Oregon is home to an extensive network of caves. Coupled with the frequent anecdotal Bigfoot sightings, Grants Pass and Josephine County in this part of Oregon have long considered the Caveman to be a bit of a local mascot.

Actually, the illustrated Caveman character that appears on their label was adapted from a logo used by the original Rogue Gold brand. Historically, Rogue Gold was a creamery based in Grants Pass that produced butter and some other dairy products until 2002.

Best of both worlds

Made from organic cow’s milk and injected with Penicillium roqueforti, the young Caveman is matured for at least 2 months in a cave in Oregon. This allows the formation of a rugged natural rind and blue veins that are a feast for the eyes.

Overall, this blue cheese is rich, complex, and sweet and fruity. Let it linger and you might detect subtle notes of vanilla, bacon and grass. Furthermore, its straw coloured pâte is sinfully creamy and just melts in your mouth.

How to pair Caveman Blue

Enjoy with fruit and nut crispbreads, or a contrasting orange marmalade. Besides, its earthy notes will allow it to pair well with a bold red like Zinfandel, American sweet Riesling, and a full-flavored Stout.
