Green Dirt Farm | Mount Bethel Blue

This 100% sheep’s milk blue cheese is a delicious stand-out. Its silky texture complements a sweet, grassy, floral flavor with hints of anise — one of a very few sheep’s milk blue cheeses produced in the U.S. Originally modeled after Roquefort, Mount Bethel Blue took on a life of its own in the Weston, MO aging room, developing a light funky rind, deep buttery notes, and an earthy, complex flavor profile. Rich, creamy sheep’s milk makes it a smooth and approachable blue cheese.

In 2023, their Prairie Tomme (a hard sheep’s milk cheese) took 3rd place in Best in Show at the ACS competition, beating out over 1,400 American artisanal cheeses! Read more on our blog about our awards. They’ve also been honored to receive Good Food Awards in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2024, and 2025.

Enjoy Mount Bethel Blue with pears and honey on an Oatcake or baked into a galette. Serve on top of a steak, or as a knockout on a cheese board paired with Madeira, Port, or Poire Williams.
