Pt Reyes Blue - October 2nd, American Cheese Month 2011

After an afternoon of watching football, I asked my friend Jaime if he was interested in making a cheese video.  I went through the plethora of cheeses hanging out in my cheese drawer and asked if there was something in particular he wanted to try.  He admitted that he had recently had blue cheese for the first time ever and liked it, so he'd like to try some more.  My choice was easy: Pt. Reyes Original Blue, offered by Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese. Point Reyes is along the shore in Northern California, where the cow pasture overlooks the ocean. These cows, who I imagine breathe in foggy, salty air all day, produce some beautiful, award winning cheeses. The cheese that Point Reyes is most known for is their Original Blue - a milky blue which melts in your mouth and leaves a bright, fruity finish. This cheese looks great on a cheese plate, as it is incredibly inviting.  It's a must-try for blue lovers.

Big ups to the Houston Dairymaids for supplying me with some Pt. Reyes Blue!
