True Blue

North Country Blue is a blue cheese for aficionados: it is bright, minerally and buttery with a full finish. It’s wonderful as part of a canapé service—we love it with smoked salmon—or as the centerpiece of a salad with apples, walnuts and a tangy vinaigrette. We like it with late-harvest Rieslings as well as with a smoky, fruity Pinot Noir.
