Mt. Mazama

Mt. Mazama is an American cheddar cheese hailing from Oregon, where it's produced by The Rogue Creamery. The cheese is made from a combination of pasteurized cow's and goat's milk and it's typically left to age for a minimum of one year.

Underneath its natural rind, the texture is dense, creamy, and crumbly, with tiny crystals dispersed throughout the body. The aromas are rich and pleasant, while the flavors are nutty, tangy, sweet, and acidic with hints of caramel. It's recommended to serve Mt.

Mazama on a cheeseboard with pickles and pair it with a glass of beer, sparkling wine, or Merlot. The cheese is named after the volcanic mountain that later became Crater Lake.
