Asher Blue
Asher Blue is an American cheese produced in Georgia by Sweet Grass Dairy. The cheese is made from raw cow's milk and it ages for 90 days. It's named after the owners' middle child, Asher. This blue cheese has a natural rind and a semi-soft, dense, smooth, creamy, and crumbly texture with blue veins dispersed throughout the paste.
The aromas are strong, rich, and earthy, while the flavors are mushroomy, robust, tangy, and slightly sweet with hints of salt, grass, and milk. It's recommended to serve Asher Blue with crackers and jam, use it in salads or as an ingredient in a salad dressing.
Pair it with a glass of Sauternes, Port, Cabernet Sauvignon, sherry, or a chocolate stout.
