Best Washed-Rind Cheese Made in the USA
American Cheese Society 2004

ColoRouge is a natural rind cheese that is mostly redish-orange in color with a slight white hazing.

We start with pasteurized whole milk, obtained from a herd of Jersey and Holstein Cows.

The cheese is gently ladled by hand into forms that give the cheese its shape and size.

During the two week aging period the cheese is turned and "Smeared" by hand. Smearing is process by which each cheese is rubbed, by hand, to help in the development of the special rind characteristics.

The cheese is then wrapped in a special foil imported from Europe that allows it to "breathe" oxygen thus keeping the cheese "alive" and fresh during the entire shelf life.

Like Jazz, the flavor changes as it ages.

Soft and creamy with mild buttery overtones give way to a complex spicy tone and furthering depths of complexity.

We mark each cheese with and date code with this aging story. If you like the cheese a bit more firm, or maybe a bit more soft, or maybe even....WAY SOFT, then you can discern this off your individual cheese by using our inventive date code system.
