The title of “2019’s Best Cheese in the World” was awarded, amongst 3,800 cheeses from 42 countries, to the Rogue River Blue Cheese produced by Rogue Creamery in Oregon USA.

This American cheese company, certified a B Corp, is part of the French Group Savencia Fromage & Dairy.

Unique artisan cheese, the Rogue River Blue is an organic blue cheese cellar-ripened for almost a year, hand-wrapped in Syrah vine leaves soaked in pear liqueur. The jury was seduced by its “multiple sensations, balance and both sweet and spicy notes”.
