Coming in second place was an Italian cheese, the 24-month aged Nazionale del Parmigiano Reggiano Latteria Sociale Santo Stefano. It was followed by a Spanish raw ewe's milk cheese, Torta del Casar D.O.P. Virgen Del Prado made by Queseria Doña Francisca.Noted cheese expert Janet Fletcher, who was not involved in the competition, wasn't surprised by Rogue River Blue's win.
Rogue Creamery makes its champion cheese in the fall, from organic cow's milk from the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon. The cheese wheels spend 9 to 11 months in the creamery's cheese caves, and then are hand wrapped in organic Syrah grape leaves soaked in pear liqueur. "I share this honor with my dedicated team at Rogue Creamery, our organic herd of Brown Swiss and Holstein cows," David Gremmels, owner of Rogue Creamery, who is also known as"Mr. Blue," said in a statement."Rogue River Blue took the top prize this year in some style, rising to the top among a record-breaking number of entries from more countries than ever before," said John Farrand, managing director of the Guild of Fine Food.
