Asher Blue has a unique natural rind and creamy-crumbly texture. This Blue has a slightly pungent, mushroomy aroma and earthy, grassy flavors with an unexpectedly mild, salty finish. Sweet Grass Dairy's raw cow's milk Asher Blue cheese has been recognized domestically and internationally with multiple awards. Like all blue cheeses, it is inoculated with the mold and then pierced fifty times on each side in order to get oxygen inside the cheese to let the mold grow during the aging process.
