Cacow Belle

Cacow Belle is an American cheddar cheese hailing from Oregon, where it's produced by Rogue Creamery. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk, artisan chocolate, and spices. It's usually aged for over 30 days before consumption.

Underneath its natural rind, the texture is semi-soft, smooth, creamy, and marbled (due to the chocolate). The aromas are intense and spicy, while the flavors are savory, sweet, and spicy. It's recommended to pair this seasonal cheese with coffee, Riesling, Barolo Amarone, or tawny port.
