Oregonzola

Oregonzola is an American Gorgonzola-style cheese hailing from Oregon, hence the name. It was created by Ignazio Vella in the late 1990s. The cheese is made from cow's milk and it's aged in Rogue Creamery caves for at least 6 months. During the maturation period, the cheese develops its smooth, creamy, moist, and buttery texture of the paste, which is laced with distinct blue veins.

The aromas are fruity, while the flavors are tangy, sweet, and savory, with hints of caramel and pepper coming from the blue mold.
