Maytag Blue Cheese is made in small batches from the milk of Holstein cattle from local Iowa dairy farms. Our cheesemakers add Penicillium Roqueforti spores to the completed product to give Maytag Blue Cheese its distinctive green veining. The cheese is then aged in caves located in the hills of Maytag Dairy Farm, where it is exposed to cool temperatures with high levels of humidity. The result is an award-winning artisanal cheese that is moist and creamy yet crumbly in texture that is slightly pungent with a lemony finish.
Each piece is hand cut, individually wrapped and vacuum-sealed for maximum freshness. The full wheel comes prepackaged.
