Oregonzola

Appearance: Ivory to pale yellow, with clearly-defined green-blue veins of mold

Texture: Buttery and luscious with a melt-in-your-mouth quality

Taste: Sweet cream, hay, and a savory/meaty quality, with moderate “blue” flavor

Suggested Pairings:

• The sweet yet savory flavors of Oregonzola pair beautifully with proscuitto, figs, and pears. Or spoon over warm polenta and top with toasted pine nuts for a rich, flavorful dish.
• Oregonzola is lovely next to earthy red wines such as Syrah or a French Burgundy. To stick with an Italian theme, we recommend it with Barbera or at dessert beside a glass of Vin Santo.
