The creamery created a wealth of jobs for the area, and soon came to focus almost exclusively on making blue cheese. In the early 2000s, Tom's son, Ig, sold Rogue Creamery to David Gremmels and Cary Bryant, who continue to uphold the practices and principles of artisan cheesemaking as set out by the Vellas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRogue River Blue is made only during autumn, when the cow's rich milk lends itself best to making this exquisite cheese. This cheese is wrapped in grape leaves that have been soaked in pear brandy. The blue veining lends hints of hazelnuts and fruit, and the paste becomes slightly crystallized as it ages. Rogue River Blue gained international recognition in 2003, when it bested European titans such as Roquefort and Stilton at the World Cheese Awards in London. Though now made from pasteurized milk, it later became the first American raw milk cheese to be exported to Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAvailable seasonally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eThis item is \u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003esemi\u003c\/span\u003e perishable and may require expedited shipping or local delivery to ensure product quality.  Please contact us directly if you have any questions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rogue River Creamery","offers":[{"title":"~ 4 oz","offer_id":20476733325430,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"~ 8 oz","offer_id":20476733358198,"sku":"","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"~1 pound","offer_id":20476733390966,"sku":"","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0025\/3801\/2790\/products\/RRBlue1_1080x1080_7677a107-0b7f-465b-a015-2ba9b371212c.jpg?v=1637940665"},{"product_id":"maison-de-truffe-truffle-brie","title":"Maison de Truffe Truffle Brie","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis utterly decadent cheese takes any celebration up a notch.  Available at St. Kilian's only for a limited time, the Maison de Truffle is made by taking an entire wheel Brie de Meaux cutting it in half, and stuffing the middle with a thick layer of creamy, black truffle-studded mascarpone to create the ultimate truffle cheese.
