About the Producer

David Gremmels dreamed of creating a new blue cheese that was inspired by the region in which it was made—Oregon’s bountiful Rogue Valley. He took the finest wheels of blue cheese, created from the distinctively sweet and rich cow milk made only in the autumn, and aged them for many months. He then wrapped the wheels in Syrah grape leaves that are picked in the spring and soaked in pear liqueur. The wheels continued to age while absorbing the character of the leaves, and were eventually released for sale nearly a year later around the time of the Autumnal Equinox.

In 2003, Rogue River Blue captured the world’s attention by becoming the first non-European blue cheese ever to win “World’s Best Blue Cheese” and Reserve Champion overall at the prestigious World Cheese Awards in London. This recognition marked the beginning of a new era of fine cheesemaking and innovation at Rogue Creamery.

This honor skyrocketed Rogue Creamery into the spotlight. Rogue River Blue became widely recognized as one of the finest cheeses in the world—winning national and international awards nearly every year since. This recognition also allowed Rogue Creamery to apply for the United States’ first raw-milk cheese export health certificate, paving the path for other American cheesemakers.
