Flora Nelle is a naturally rinded pasteurized blue set with calf rennet. The paste is specked with beautiful blue blooms and blue green veins and creates savory, tropical & sweet cream flavors. The dusty rind enhances the spicy nutty and intensely blue flavors framing the Rogue Valley Terroir. The five pound (2.2 kg) wheels are made by hand and aged in specially-constructed caves. The cheese ripens from naturally occurring molds found in the Rogue River Valley and, therefore, reflects a deep connection to the land. After more than five years in the making, the recipe was finalized in September 2010 and first released just after Thanksgiving. "We had to come up with a good production cheese that not only met the flavor and aging goals, but would still be viable labor-wise; it had to be reasonable to make by hand on a commercial scale" said co-owner Cary Bryant. Before even reaching her first birthday, Flora Nelle had already won an award, second place at the 2011 U.S. Championship Cheese Contest.
