Cayuga Goat Milk Blue Cheese is an award-winning blue cheese crafted entirely from goat's milk by Lively Run Dairy in New York's Finger Lakes region. This unique cheese typically weighs between 4 to 4.5 lbs and features a natural rind that develops in temperature- and humidity-controlled conditions. The production process uses microbial rennet and cultures, making it a vegetarian-friendly option.

Flavor Profile: Cayuga Blue is known for its mellow, nutty, and earthy flavors, complemented by notes of portobello mushroom and a subtle spiciness from the blue mold, Penicillium roqueforti. It is less sharp than many other blue cheeses, thanks to the distinct characteristics of goat's milk, which provides a creamy texture without being overly tangy.

Pairing Suggestions: This cheese pairs well with powerful wines like Riesling or Pinot Noir from the Finger Lakes, and is also great with oatmeal stouts or porters for beer lovers. For a savory snack, consider serving it with fig almond cake or Brooklyn Cured Smoked Beef Salami.
