Rogue Creamery’s Echo Mountain Blue and Mount Mazama were both awarded Silver Medals at the 29 th Annual World Cheese Awards in San Sebastian, Spain. The World Cheese Awards is the largest and most respected competition of its type in the world. There were 260 judges who gathered to taste and score more than 3000 cheeses from 31 different countries this week.
“It’s wonderful to be in a place to share the message of giving thanks at the holiday tables of the families and friends of cheese lovers from this international audience. It’s a great recognition to have our passion and sustainable practices reinforced at the World Cheese Awards, as Echo Mountain is ranked once again among the world’s finest blue cheeses”, said David Gremmels, Cheesemaker and president.
This was the 7th time in the last 10 years that Rogue’ Creamery’s Echo Mountain Blue has been honored with a medal in the Mixed Milk Category at the World Cheese Awards for placing among the top 3 cheeses in the world, including a Gold Medal in Dublin in 2008.The remarkable taste of this award-winning blue reflects a montage of rich flavors made from the combination of this unique regional blend of grass-based, hormone free cow and goat’s milk.
The flavor is clear, crisp, brilliant and complex with its subtle hint of goat’s milk. Brightly hued veins traverse the body of this cheese, infusing it with a bold, earthy flavor. It has a semi-soft texture with a silky- smooth mouth feel and tangy finish.
