Salemville Amish Blue

Salemville Amish Blue: From the Heartland of Pennsylvania

The Salemville Cheese Cooperative, an Amish community in Bedford County, PA has been making Award-winning blue-veined cheeses since 1984. Their cheeses are renowned, nationally and internationally, for their quality, balance and flavor. Amish farmers from this community contribute their milk to each day's cheese production. The herds range in size from four to twenty-five cows; all are milked twice daily—making for truly happy cows! The Salemville Cooperative is managed, collectively, by an Amish community dedicated to sustainable agriculture. They are equally committed to the quality of their blue cheese, which is best described as beautifully veined, creamy and rich with a deep, almost smoky flavor.

Tasting Notes

This cheese has a rich, earthy flavor, well balanced and flavorful. Crumble on salad or pasta tossed with garlic and olive oil, stir into hot mashed potatoes or transform a vinaigrette into delicious blue cheese salad dressing by adding Amish Blue to it. (Yes, it’s fine to use a blender). Blue cheeses are good with red wines in general—big bold ones like cabernets, malbecs and pinots or lighter ones such as red zinfandels.
